Brand: Shiloh Farms
White Proso Millet (Panicum miliaceum) Millet is tasty, with a mildly sweet, nut-like flavor. The seeds are enclosed in colored hulls. Because of a remarkably hard, indigestible hull, this grain must be hulled before it can be used for human consumption. Hulling does not affect the nutrient value, as the germ stays intact through this process. Once out of the hull, Millet grains look like tiny yellow spheres. Millet is unique due to its short growing season. Millet is highly nutritious, non-glutinous and like quinoa, and buckwheat is not an acid forming food, so is soothing and easy to digest. The seeds are also rich in phytochemicals. In fact, it is considered to be one of the least allergenic and most digestible grains available and is known as a warming grain, that will help to heat the body in cold or rainy seasons and climates. Millet is a healthful and versatile grain that would be a worthy addition to anyone's diet. In 1942 a group of like-minded people gathered on a farm in Western New York and founded the Shiloh Community. Their common goal was to live and work together in health and harmony. To help support themselves and sustain their lifestyle they created a bakery and became known for their hearty, healthy all-natural products. Organic certification had not yet been invented. This was the beginning of SHILOH FARMS.
