What is "pearl millet"?
Pearl millet is a nutritious cereal grain widely cultivated in arid and semi-arid regions of Africa and Asia. Also, it is a staple food for millions of people in these regions due to its resilience to drought and heat. It has a mild, nutty flavor and a slightly chewy texture. Pearl millet grains are commonly ground into flour and used to make unleavened flatbreads, porridges, and traditional fermented foods like idli and dosa. Rich in protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, pearl millet is a valuable source of nutrients, particularly in regions where other crops may struggle to thrive. Additionally, pearl millet is gluten-free, making it suitable for individuals with gluten sensitivities.
