Hulled Millet

Hulled millet is a small, round whole grain that has been used as a food source for thousands of years. It is a type of cereal grain that grows in warm climates and is a staple food in parts of Africa and Asia. The "hulled" part means the inedible outer husk has been removed, making it ready to cook and eat.

Millet is often used as a healthier alternative to refined grains in baked goods like breads, muffins, and cookies. It can also be cooked and served as a side dish similar to rice or quinoa, or added to granola and snack bars for texture and nutrition. Its mild, slightly sweet flavor makes it versatile in both sweet and savory dishes.

Millet is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a good source of fiber, protein, and certain vitamins and minerals. While specific health benefits are often discussed in peer-reviewed literature, no regulatory body like JECFA or EFSA has set specific intake limits for millet itself. It is not typically associated with significant health controversies.
