Finger Millet 500g

Finger Millet is an ancient cereal grain that has been a dietary staple across Africa and Asia for thousands of years. Known scientifically as Eleusine coracana, this small-seeded grass can thrive in hot, semi-arid climates that challenge other crops. These round, reddish-brown grains are packed with nutrients like protein, antioxidants, B vitamins, iron, calcium, zinc and magnesium. Millet stands out not just for its resilience and nutritional value, but also for its versatility.

It can be ground into flour for breads, porridges, soups and even beer. For many cultures, dishes made from millet form part of cherished food traditions that connect the present to the past. Looking ahead, this hardy, nourishing grain could play a key role in efforts to strengthen food security for some of the most vulnerable farming communities around the world. By sharing millet’s long, fascinating history, perhaps we can also spark renewed interest in its future.
