Pearl Millet
Pearl Millet is a type of grain that is widely cultivated in arid and semi-arid regions, particularly in Africa and India. It is known for its resilience to drought and poor soil conditions, making it a staple food for many communities. The grain is small, round, and typically grayish-yellow in color, and it can be ground into flour or cooked whole.
Rich in nutrients, Pearl Millet is a good source of protein, fiber, and essential minerals like iron and magnesium. It is often used in traditional dishes, such as porridge and flatbreads, and is valued for its health benefits, including aiding digestion and providing energy.
