One of the oldest foods known to man.  I had never before tried millet until now. I always thought it was something you threw on the bird feeder for the birds. What's interesting about this grain is that millet was around before rice - that would be around 2700 BC in China. It is currently a staple in Africa, India and other countries. It's the most digestible grain there is and it's packed with things like 15% protein, fiber, iron, B complex vitamins and potassium. Think of it as little tiny rice because you basically cook it the same way. To make this recipe Chinesey, I simmered it in soy sauce. It's delicious and this is one of those foods you can play with - the possibilities are endless.
