A Healthy Treat ( Millet)
The type of food that I would like to share in this post is Millet. Millet is often known as the main ingredient in bird's food. After all, millet is a type of nutritious grain that often used to accompany other type of grains. Millet is tiny in size and round in shape and often come in a few colours such as white, yellow and grey. Cooked millet is soft and is a suitable food for elderly and children. The reason why I mentioned that millet is a nutritious food because it is rich in various kind of vitamins and minerals.

Millet is full of the nutrients that your body needs:
Vitamin B complex
Vitamin E
Vitamin K
Protein
Calcium
Iron
Magnesium
Copper
Phosphorus
Potassium
Zinc
Selenium
Dietary fiber
Millet is simply a delicious grain. For those who have no idea on how to prepare a nutritious healthy millet treat, here I provide a simple recipe.
