Millets, which are part of the grass family (Poaceae), are a type of cereal grain commonly consumed in Africa and Asia. Despite their seed-like appearance, millets offer similar nutritional benefits as other cereals, such as sorghum. Millets have become increasingly popular in Western countries due to their gluten-free nature and high levels of protein, fibre, and antioxidants. Additionally, millets have several advantages over other crops, including their resistance to drought and pests, as well as their ability to thrive in unfavourable soil and harsh conditions.
