Millet
A gluten-free seed that behaves very much like a grain. Millet is high in complex carbohydrates and protein, as well as amino acids and manganese, is alkalizing, has naturally anti-microbial properties, and is easily digested. The whole grain can be cooked fluffy like rice or creamy like porridge. Millet flour is golden in color and has a sweet nutty flavor. It can be crumbly when used on its own, so use some kind of binder or starch whenever using millet flour.
