Most of our focus has been on continental North America. However, millets are also grown and consumed to varying degrees in the Caribbean region. I recently came across an item on "pitimi" in Haiti. The word pitimi in Haitian Creole (Kreyòl) is from the French "petit mil." The latter is a term that in West Africa refers to pearl millet, since its grains are relatively small (petit) in comparison to those of sorghum ("gros mil," which we sometimes in English refer to as great millet).* In Haiti, however, it seems that pitimi refers to both / either of the crops - sorghum & pearl millet. This is the article I first saw, which is an overview by a Haitian who says they haven't been back in a while. Not sure if any of the images are from Haiti. Still a nice intro: "What is Millet Grain, Pitimi, or Petit Mil" Caribbean Green Living (blog), August 11, 2021; Updated on July 30, 2022 https://www.caribbeangreenliving.com/pitimi-millet-or-petit-mil/ On this photo site, a clear image of pearl millet in a part of Haiti, but without mentioning the name "pitimi": "Top 16 Most Common Plants in Haiti, Nord, Guider" (PictureThisAI.com) https://www.picturethisai.com/region/Haiti-Nord-Guider.html This webpage on a product seems to confound the two: "Ranje Fwaye Pitimi (Pearl Millet, Petit Mil, Sorghum Grain)" https://thecaribbeandepot.com/product/pitimi-pearl-millet-petit-mil-sorghum-... Another webpage focuses on sorghum, but has this explanation: "Pitimi is the word Haitians use for millet and sorghum, or small grains." "SORGHUM: Sorghum Bicolor: Sorghum, Sorgho, Milo, Pitimi," Grow Haiti (blog), no date https://pearlculture.wordpress.com/sorghum/ A number of packaged grain products from Haiti feature "pitimi" and "sorghum" on the label (search Google for images with these two words: Haiti pitimi). Sometimes, like this one, "millet" is also featured on the label: https://www.ziledistributors.com/product-page/pitimi-5lbs Finally, on Facebook, CFI Haiti (presumably the Haitian government's Centre de Facilitation des Investissements) has this description in French: "Le petit mil est une culture de première nécessité dans plusieurs communautés étrangères, également en Haïti. Il est une source alimentaire pendant les périodes difficiles, la sécheresse ou de mauvaises récoltes des autres denrées. Le petit mil est relativement bon marché et il est facile à faire pousser et il s'entrepose très bien pendant des années. Maintenant en Haïti on l'utilise pour faire le Malta. Il existe plusieurs variétés de #mil <https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/mil?__eep__=6&__tn__=*NK*F> tels que: millet, mil à chandelle, mil perle, petit mil, mil doré etc..." https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=972866709500919&set=a.280779275376336 (Malta is a beverage, and that would be another topic) This is another post that really just scratches the surface of what is likely a more complicated picture. Anyone with info on millets in Haiti or anywhere in the Caribbean, please comment or add info. Don Osborn, PhD (East Lansing, MI, US) North American Millets Alliance Note: * There are two quasi-synonyms in French equivalent to "millet" in English. One is "mil," which I have heard as referring to the great millets (sorghum and pearl millet). The other is its diminutive, "millet," which I understand may refer to other (small) or any millet.
