Millet flakes 1000g - VIVIO

Millet flakes are made directly from hulled and ground millet grains or from ready-made millet. Common millet is an annual plant belonging to the grass family. In its natural conditions, it grows in North America, as well as in subtropical regions. However, many of its crops are also found in our country. Millet is characterized by a semi-recumbent or erect stem. Its leaves are filiform and regular. The flowers, in turn, are gathered in an inflorescence, which forms a hanging panicle.
Although millet flakes appeared on Polish tables relatively recently, it turns out that grated millet grains were consumed by humans nearly 5,000 years BC. The earliest records of the use of this grain come from China. However, millet flakes themselves were popularized by the famous Swiss physician Maximillian Birecher-Benner only in the 19th century. He was the originator of the popular mixture of flakes and dried fruits, known today as muesli.
The process of making millet flakes is not simple. High temperatures are often used during this process. In addition, the millet grains are carefully cleaned and dried before reaching our tables. Despite this complicated procedure, millet grains still contain a set of nutrients valuable for health. They include, among others, carbohydrates (including starch) , proteins, and essential amino acids. In addition, millet flakes are a real treasure trove of B vitamins. They are also a source of valuable minerals, including zinc, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, calcium, and iron. Interestingly, these flakes also contain a large amount of silicic acid, which is the basic element of creatine. Another important information is the fact that millet flakes are gluten-free. Therefore, they are a valuable part of the diet of people struggling with celiac disease or gluten intolerance.
Millet flakes are easy to digest and have a rather delicate taste. They are characterized by a fine structure and a yellowish color. Unlike oat flakes, they are pleasantly crunchy. They are also universal in terms of use in everyday cooking and body care.
