Little Millet Seed Curator Perspective The US National Plant Germplasm Collection has 211 accessions of little millet (Panicum sumatrense) housed at the station in Ames, Iowa. All the accessions originated in India. They are widely adapted; most can mature seeds here in Iowa. The observation data on the GRIN online database is mixed with the related proso millet (Panicum miliaceum) data. https://npgsweb.ars-grin.gov/gringlobal/cropdetail?type=species&id=226 Most of the little millet collection was grown and imaged in the field here in Iowa. Images and notes are posted. Here is an example: https://npgsweb.ars-grin.gov/gringlobal/accessiondetail?id=1358448 Examples of little millet accessions that are well adapted in Iowa.

It makes a nice tabouli since the grain size is like a fine grade of bulgar wheat.
