Good quiz. I only have been eating proso and the germ is lighter color and hulled seed more round and whitish yellow. No samples are pearl or finger. My guess is that the left and center are two varieties of foxtail and the right (blurry sample) is smaller seed and likely little millet. Thanks for the opportunity....Gary Wietgrefe On Sat, May 2, 2026 at 12:17 PM Don Osborn via Collab < collab@lists.millets2023.space> wrote:
Attached is an image with details from a photo of three different packages of millets. Can you identify the millets in the left, center, and right of the image?
Hint #1: There are only two species of millet involved.
Hint #2: One of those species is present in two distinct varieties. (You are not asked to make that distinction.)
I'll follow with another hint later, and then share the original photo and details.
Motive for this: I'd like to get some unbiased takes on their identity.
