Millet groats are very useful. They are excellent in desserts and also in vegetable dishes. Lightly boiled they can be a side dish for meat or a base ingredient for salads. They have a little starch, but a lot of easily assimilated protein, B vitamins, iron and copper. Millet groats are light and don't trigger allergies because they don't contain gluten. Millet groats are a very valuable product for students and people who work hard, because they contain a lot of vitamin E and lecithin, which improves memory and concentration. Women who care for their hair, skin and nails should eat them because they are a rich source of silica and prevent osteoporosis.

If somebody doesn't like millet groats they should try millet flakes. They have a nice delicate taste and when boiled are similar to semolina. They boil fast so they are excellent as a nutritious breakfast. Added fruit and crunchy roasted sesame and sunflower seeds will make it the favourite breakfast of the whole family.
