For anyone looking to add a nutritional grain to their diet at a low cost, I highly recommend millet. It has similar nutritional value to quinoa but because it isn't trendy (and thus doesn't have the same supply issues) it can be 80% cheaper than quinoa in most stores.
- CCs 13y agoIt is better than oatmeal or wheat? It looks a lot like white flour to me: http://skipthepie.org/cereal-grains-and-pasta/millet-flour/compared-to/wheat-flour-white-industrial-protein-bleached-unenriched/ http://skipthepie.org/cereal-grains-and-pasta/millet-flour/c... Some say goitrogens in millet is bad for you (if you eat large quantity) http://www.womentowomen.com/hypothyroidism/goitrogenicfoods-thyroidhealth.aspx http://www.womentowomen.com/hypothyroidism/goitrogenicfoods-... http://www.thehealthyhomeeconomist.com/beware-of-millet/ http://www.thehealthyhomeeconomist.com/beware-of-millet/
- kevinconroy 13y agoMillet is a grain and can be ground into flour. I'm talking about cooking it as a grain (like most uses of quinoa). http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=100+g+millet http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=100+g+millet http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=100+g+quinoa http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=100+g+quinoa Also, having too much of any one food is bad for you. I'm not suggesting that you start baking your own bread with millet flour - just that the next time you would cook up some rice or quinoa, give millet a try. It's a very healthy whole grain and can be a welcome part of a well balanced diet for many people trying to eat healthier.
