Nutritional values

Millet is a great source of iron, a mineral which plays an essential role in blood formation, while the nuts and oils in this salad are rich in vitamin E, which helps protect the body against free radical damage. 

These yummy little cakes taste equally good cold or warm. They're also a great picnic snack.
