Millet is a whole grain that’s packed with protein, antioxidants, and nutrients. It may have numerous health benefits, such as helping lower your blood sugar and cholesterol levels. Plus, it’s gluten-free, making it an excellent choice for people who have celiac disease or follow a gluten-free diet. Its nutty taste and versatility make it well worth trying. Recommended use: Place 2 cups of water in a pan and bring to a boil. Stir in 1 cup millet, cover, and return to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes or until all water is absorbed. If you want to make porridge use 3 cups of water and wait for the millet to become creamy.
