|May 2024
Millets are more than just grains; they are nutritional powerhouses. With their impressive health benefits, and versatility in culinary applications, millets offer a sustainable solution for promoting personal health and well-being.
In a world where dietary choices are becoming increasingly scrutinized for their impact on both personal health and the environment, there's a growing spotlight on the humble millets. Often overshadowed by more popular grains like wheat and rice, millets are emerging as nutritional powerhouses that offer a sustainable solution for both human well-being and the planet.
• Nutritional Treasure Trove
Millets, encompassing a group of small-seeded grasses, have been cultivated for thousands of years across various regions of the world, especially in Africa and Asia. Despite their long-standing history, they've only recently begun to regain attention in the realm of modern nutrition.
What makes millets stand out is their exceptional nutritional profile. These grains are rich in essential nutrients such as protein, fibre, vitamins, and minerals. Unlike refined grains, millets retain their bran and germ layers, making them a valuable source of dietary fibre and micronutrients. Additionally, millets are gluten-free, making them suitable for individuals with celiac disease or gluten intolerance.
