Eating guide:

• Food group: millets and vegetables
• Together this combination can be a meal by itself.
• Millets are gluten-free, rich in fibre and high in nutritional value. They are a good option to add variety to your meals or when you want to go grain-free.
• Raw and steamed vegetables are great to make a meal filling, refreshing and contain enzymes that help with digestion.
