Millets - rich in heritage, full of potential
We journey through time and across countries, tracing the story of a small but mighty grain: millets. These humble seeds are delicious, nutritious, drought-resistant, and healthy for us and the planet, but they have often been forgotten.
2023 is the International Year of Millets – a designation given by the United Nations. The UN’s Food and Agricultural Organization is seizing that opportunity to promote what could be a powerful staple for people in an era of climate change.
Join us as we explore millets' past heritage and future potential. An added bonus: a recipe from award-winner Chef Binta, a passionate advocate for millets.
