Organic Hulled Millet

Millet has a sweet nutty flavour and is considered to be one of the most digestible and non-allergenic grains available. One of the best-kept secrets of our ancient ancestors, it has been a prized crop in China, India, Greece, Egypt and Africa, and was said to have been first cultivated over 7000 years ago during the neolithic period.  More recently, millet has been gaining popularity in Western Europe and North America as a nutritious, quick cooking and delicious whole grain.
