You may think of millet as a key ingredient in bird seed and animal feed. While it is used for these purposes, millet has been an important food source for a large part of the world’s human population dating back to prehistoric times! This is for good reason, as millet is a tasty and highly nutritious grain – a worthy addition to a varied and healthy diet.

What is Millet?
The millet plant is a tall, erect grass that looks similar to maize. The plant can grow from 1 to 15 feet tall, depending upon the variety. The seeds are enclosed in colored hulls (different varieties are different colors). Once hulled, a tiny, round, pale yellow seed is revealed. For culinary purposes, the seed is either used whole or ground into flour.

Archaeologists hypothesize that millet was a very important part of the prehistoric diet. It was considered one of the five sacred crops by the ancient Chinese and its cultivation was likely even more prevalent than rice. It is believed that the Hanging Gardens of Babylon included millet among their treasured plants.

Today millet is considered to be the sixth most important grain in the world. It is a significant part of the diet for one third of the world’s population, particularly in India and Africa. India is the main producer of millet.

Benefits of Millet:
Like quinoa and buckwheat, millet is not an acid forming food which makes it one of the least allergenic and most easily digested of all grains. It is also gluten-free.

Millet contains high levels of several key minerals and nutrients, including B-complex vitamins, thiamine, riboflavin, iron, magnesium, phosphorous and potassium. It is also high in fiber and protein and is well balanced in essential amino acids.

Besides the nutritional benefits, millet as a crop has the advantage of being a fast growing grain. It can be harvested 65 days from the time of planting. It fares well in harsh environments, growing in poorly fertilized, dry soil.

This makes it suitable for hot climates with little rainfall as well as cooler climates where the summers are short. These factors make it suited to environments which may not be able to sustain other types of crops.

Luckily, these muffins fit the bill perfectly: delicious fresh or left over with a soft fluffy texture punctuated with crispy pieces of millet and soft baked blueberries. In this recipe i have used flour, we can also use just like raw. In this recipe i have used blueberry paste. We can use directly just like blueberries in to the batter.
