Common questions about millet
Does millet cause weight gain?
Consuming millet in moderate amounts may promote weight loss because it is rich in protein and dietary fiber, which increase the feeling of fullness for long periods, reducing food intake between meals.
On the other hand, excessive consumption of millet, especially with fried foods, can lead to weight gain, so the amount of millet consumed determines its role in weight gain or loss.
Which is better: millet grains or millet flour?
Millet grains contain anti-nutritional compounds that may hinder the absorption of some essential minerals, but when converted into millet flour, the amount of these compounds decreases. Therefore, we recommend buying millet flour instead of grains due to its higher nutritional benefit.
We also note that millet can be used as animal and bird feed, similar to white corn flour, as well as for human consumption.
