Prepare a meal using millets


Have you ever tried millets? It’s never too late. Millets are full of dietary fibre, antioxidants, protein and minerals, including iron. They’re also gluten free with a low glycaemic index to address intolerances and diabetes.

Get to know their diversity and the variety of dishes they can produce by trying one of these recipes.
