Millet is the common name given to more than 6,000 species of wild annual grasses found throughout the world. Those belonging to the Poaceae (Gramineae) or grain family are small seeded annual grasses, including a variety of cereals that may be used both as human food and for animal forage. Millet is gluten free and is embraced by many with sensitivity to modern wheat or other grains containing gluten.

Many people think of millet as the main ingredient in bird seed, but it's not just for the birds. Millet is believed to be one of the oldest human foods and the first domesticated cereal. Historians believe seeds from wild millet plants were domesticated and cultivated simultaneously in Asia and Africa over 7,000 years ago and from there spread throughout the world. In the Old Testament book Ezekiel 4:9, millet is mentioned as a grain used in making bread. Today, millet ranks as the sixth most important cereal grain in the world and is a significant staple in northern China, Manchuria, Mongolia, Eastern Europe, Russia, India, and Africa. Even the stalks of the millet plant are used to make a very useful item found in every home - the common broom.
