Nutritional values

The high proportion of silicic acid in millet has an extremely positive effect on hair and fingernails, promotes healthy, radiant skin and keeps connective tissue firm. Additionally, the grains contain important minerals and trace elements including iron.  

It is recommended to wash your millet before using it to get rid of any sour flavor.
