Green Millet
We are offering green millet. Origins and cultivation: millet, or more properly bulrush millet, probably originated in africa, where it provides a very important food supply in the sudan, the far north of nigeria, and other countries along the southern fringe of the sahara desert. It is also an important food crop in some of the driest parts of india and pakistan. Description: bulrush millet is also, in its white-seeded forms, sometimes called ‘pearl millet’. The plant is tall, of the same order of height as maize and sorghum and quite closely resembling them while in the vegetative phase. It bears at the top of the stem a long cylindrical ear, which in general appearance rather resembles a bulrush and gives the crop its common name. Millet tolerates poor soils and has excellent storage properties. Uses: millets are eaten in the form of a porridge cooked from the meal produced by grinding and pounding the grain; they can also be used for making beer, although sorghum is the most commonly used for this purpose. Nutritionally, several of the tropical millets have a content of useful minerals, which is compared with other cereals. In india, millet flour is used to make unleavened pancakes to be eaten along with the curries and dhals.
