Sustainable foods are essential to promote these days; millet is one of them! It grows quite quickly, and need only half the amount of water used for wheat and rice (4,000 litres are needed to produce ONE kilo of rice, mad right?!).
It’s a seed (not a grain!), gluten-free, high in magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, zinc, calcium, and iron. It’s also a great source of amino acids, protein, antioxidants, and fibre.
Like with anything it’s not perfect, millet contains goitrogens, substances interfere with iodine uptake in the thyroid. Use millet to increase the diversity of your diet rather than a staple food.
Ok enough talking, let’s eat!
