Millet is one of the oldest foods known to man and remains a vital part of the diet of a third of the world's population.  A wholegrain source of protein, millet is highly nutritious, naturally gluten-free and considered to be one of the least allergenic and most digestible grains available.  Its nutty, slightly sweet flavour is enhanced by lightly roasting before cooking.  Millet is delicious in soups, stews, salads and casseroles or as accompaniment to main dishes, as you wold serve rice or couscous.
