Millets are a rich source of several B vitamins and a number of minerals, especially manganese. Millet is a cereal rich in antioxidants. In particular, they can lower cholesterol and blood sugar levels. Millets are rich in fiber, both soluble and insoluble. Insoluble fiber is known here as a "prebiotic," meaning it supports good bacteria in the digestive system. This type of fiber is also important for increasing stool volume, which helps maintain regularity and reduces the risk of colon cancer. Millet can be used in a variety of dishes including porridge, salads and biscuits.
