Panicum miliaceum, commonly known as millet, is a type of grain that belongs to the grass family. It is cultivated primarily for its small, round seeds, which are rich in nutrients and can be used in various culinary dishes. Millet is known for its resilience, thriving in poor soil conditions and requiring less water than many other crops. This grain is a staple food in many parts of the world, particularly in Africa and Asia. It is gluten-free, making it a popular choice for those with gluten sensitivities. Additionally, millet is often used in animal feed and can be processed into flour for baking.
