Millets
Millets are a group of small-seeded grasses grown primarily in Asia and Africa. Unlike wheat or rice, they are drought-resistant, grow in poor soil, and require minimal water—making them a climate-resilient crop and a great choice for sustainable agriculture.
They’re packed with nutrients, easy to digest, and naturally gluten-free, which is why they’re gaining popularity worldwide as a super grain.
