About Yellow Sticky Millet
A traditional coarse grain; soft and waxy, often used for pastries.
Health Benefits of Yellow Sticky Millet
More protein than white rice
100g of proso millet has 9.5g protein, 3.8g fat, 73g carbs and 2.5g fiber - a fuller profile than white rice. It belongs to the millet (shu) family with a long history in northern China and is key to traditional cakes and festival foods.
Richer in fiber and B vitamins
Cooked it is soft, sticky and waxy, used for millet cakes, zongzi and cold millet desserts. Mix 1:3 with rice in porridge or rice for more texture and nutrient variety.
B-vitamin source
It keeps part of the germ and aleurone layer, providing B1, B2 and other B vitamins plus magnesium and iron - more micronutrients than white rice, making it a practical coarse-fine pairing.
