Whole Grain Millet Seeds

Millet is a group of small-seeded grasses that are important grains around the world. Whole grain millet seeds are the entire unprocessed grain, including the bran, germ, and endosperm. They are typically grown in Africa and Asia and can be cooked and eaten as a porridge or used in baked goods.

Manufacturers use whole grain millet seeds as a source of nutrients and texture in packaged foods. They are often found in breads, cereals, and snack bars, adding a slightly nutty flavor and a satisfying chew.

Whole grain millet seeds are considered a whole grain and are a source of fiber, protein, and various vitamins and minerals. The FDA recognizes whole grains as part of a healthy dietary pattern. JECFA has evaluated millet and did not set a numeric limit (ADI not specified). Evidence suggests that diets rich in whole grains are associated with various health benefits.
