What it is

Millet is a small, round grain that grows in many varieties worldwide. It is a staple food in parts of Africa and Asia. The seeds are typically harvested, cleaned, and can be eaten whole, or milled into flour.

Why it's used

Millet is used as a whole grain in breads, cereals, and baked goods for its nutty flavor and texture. It can also be cooked and served as a side dish or porridge. Manufacturers may add it to products like multigrain breads and crackers to enhance their nutritional profile and add variety.

Health notes

Millet is considered a whole grain and is a source of fiber, protein, and various micronutrients. The FDA lists millet as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). International bodies like JECFA have evaluated millet, but no specific numeric limits are set. Research suggests whole grains like millet contribute to a healthy diet, but no specific health claims are approved for millet itself.

Allergen info

Millet is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It is also naturally gluten-free.
