Millet seed – is enclosed in a coloured hull – this hard, indigestible hull must be removed before it can be used for human consumption. Hulling does not affect the nutrient value, as the germ stays intact through this process. Millet is highly nutritious, gluten-free and is not acid forming, so is soothing and easy to digest. It is a good source of protein and contains high amounts of fibre, B-complex vitamins, including niacin, thiamin and riboflavin and essential amino acids methionine lecithin and some vitamin E. It is particularly high in iron, magnesium, phosphorous and potassium. Millet is also rich in phytochemicals, including phytic acid, which is believed to lower cholesterol and Phytate, which is associated with reduced cancer risk.Millet Flakes are processed with steam then rolled – add to muesli or cook for porridge.
