Came across this item on whole grains from Women's Day magazine: "14 Healthy Whole Grains, and How to Enjoy Them Right Now," by Becca Miller, Women's Day, 1 Aug. 2024 https://www.womansday.com/health-fitness/nutrition/g61731047/healthy-grains/ ... which has also been recently remixed on MSN as a series of panels: "The Healthiest Whole Grains to Try, According to an R.D." https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/diet/the-healthiest-whole-grains-to-try-acc... It's in the genre of articles one sees from time to time listing various grains, perhaps including millets, and offering short takes with photos on each. This article's treatment of "millet" under #7 merits attention as the author makes the effort to cover the diversity of grains with this name - specifically fonio, pearl millet, and finger millet. Sorghum and teff are treated separately on this list. Excerpts from the article regarding millets are copied below. My comments follow. 7) Millet There are several varieties of this little round gluten-free grain that you may see in stores, such as fonio, pearl, and finger. One cup of millet also boasts 25% of the daily value of phosphorus for women over 19, which, along with calcium, helps to maintain healthy and strong bones and teeth. Studies have shown that the consumption of millet can help to prevent chronic diseases in those who enjoy it regularly. Dig into a bowl of millet in a delicious breakfast porridge, which will start your day off with 11 grams of protein. 12) Sorghum Popular in Indian and West African cooking, sorghum is less common to find in your grocery store (but easy to order online!). Sorghum is an impressive whole grain both for its health benefits and its environmental benefits. Scientists have explored this crop as one that can grow extremely well in drought conditions, making it a potentially popular option as climate change continues to warm the planet and cause more widespread drought. Like other grains, sorghum is high in protein and fiber. Studies also show that sorghum is high in polyphenols, which can aid in preventing cancers as well as oxidative stress, which may speed up aging. To prep, cook as you would quinoa, or pop on the stove like you would popcorn. 14) Teff Find this tiny grain in its whole form or ground into flour—the main ingredient in injera, a staple flatbread in Ethiopian cuisine. It is a plant native of Eritrea and Ethiopia. “Teff is high in protein, higher in iron than most other grains, and a fiber powerhouse packing 12 grams in just 3.5 ounces!” says Moore. This mild, slightly sweet pick is also rich in minerals such as copper, phosphorus, and magnesium, key for regular muscle and nerve function. Comments: Ms. Miller, the author, deserves credit for mentioning the plurality of millets in #7. Does this one example reflect a widening awareness of this fact? However, for such an article in the US to miss proso millet - which is what's generally marketed as "millet" in this part of the world - indicates incomplete information. Proso is of course grown in this region for its grains, unlike pearl and finger millet. Fonio from West Africa, particularly under the brand name Yolélé, seems to be more widely marketed here than pearl or finger millets, which can be found in markets specializing in Indian and South Asian foods. Interesting the mention of fonio under #7, since I've more often seen it mentioned separately from grains surnamed "millet," like what one sees in this article with sorghum and teff. During the International Year of Millets (2023) I had hoped to produce a kind of press packet that would disambiguate millets for journalists and bloggers not that familiar with these grains. Some items on the NAMA Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) reflected this concern, and indeed have been split off into a separate FAQ in draft, that could be used in developing such a press packet.
