Wholesale Bulk Millet

Millet is a cereal grain that belongs to the Poaceae family, commonly known as the grass family.

It’s widely consumed in developing countries throughout Africa and Asia. While it may look like a seed, millet’s nutritional profile is similar to that of sorghum and other cereals. Millet has gained popularity in the West because it’s gluten-free and boasts high protein, fiber, and antioxidant contents.

Millet is a small, round whole grain grown in India, Nigeria, and other Asian and African countries. Considered an ancient grain, it’s used both for human consumption and livestock and bird feed. Although all millet varieties belong to the Poaceae family, they differ in color, appearance, and species.

Like most cereals, millet is a starchy grain — meaning that it’s rich in carbs. Notably, it also packs several vitamins and minerals.
