Proso millet (Panicum miliaceum L.), is an ancient grain, which is thought to be one of the earliest cultivated grains in the human history. Proso millet is also referred as Broomcorn millet, Common millet, Hog millet, Kashfi millet, Red millet, and White millet.
Proso millet is commonly used for making healthy breakfast dishes like Dosa, Upma, sweet and savoury porridges in India. Proso millet, like other millets is naturally low on carbs and high on fibre, natural micronutrients, vitamins and proteins. Millets get digested slowly giving sustained energy throughout the day and therefore are ideal for diabetics looking for an alternative grain to rice. They also help increase the bio-activitiy of minerals and have strong antioxidant properties.
