Millet

A gluten-free couscous.

Millet is a member of the grass family.  It is low-allergenic and gluten-free and as a result, is becoming well-known for its nutritional qualities. As well as being a source of fibre, millet contains many proteins and vitamins B1 and B6. It also contains high levels of magnesium, iron, calcium and zinc.

In the kitchen, millet can be used the same way as most other cereals. It can take the place of rice, couscous and even barley in some dishes.
