About Yellow Millet
Same grain family as huang da-mi (large glutinous millet), slightly smaller grains, good for porridge and mixed coarse-grain rice.
Health Benefits of Yellow Millet
Higher fiber and B vitamins
100g of huang-mi (yellow millet) has 8.5g protein, 2.8g fat, 72g carbs and 2.2g fiber. Like da-huang-mi it belongs to the millet family with similar nutrients and slightly smaller grains - a traditional northern Chinese coarse grain.
Adds fiber and B vitamins
Yellow millet cooks into a smooth, slightly sticky porridge and can be cooked alone or mixed with millet and rice. Blending it 1:3 with rice gives a pleasant coarse-fine texture while boosting fiber and B-vitamin intake.
Gentle for sensitive stomachs
Cooked yellow millet is soft, easy to chew and digest, making it a good staple for the elderly, children, or when digestion is weak. Millet porridge is also traditional for recovery, and can be paired with red dates or goji berries for flavour.
