Wellcure Tip:

• Please keep in mind that millets are cooked with salt therefore it is important to add salt judiciously to the sauce.
• For a spicy sauce use chilli flakes.

Eating guide:

• Food group: millets and nuts

• Millets are gluten-free, rich in fiber and high in nutritional value. They are a good option to add variety to your meals or when you want to go grain-free.

• They can easily be combined with coconut and vegetables.
