Millet is one of those grains that sometimes slips under the radar of superfood lovers. And yet millet is a wonderful thing! Not only is it gluten-free and packed with nutrients and vitamins, millet is also high in iron, magnesium and silicic acid. This is important for healthy bones and teeth, strong hair and healthy skin and nails. I have combined this useful, nutritious and delicious ingredient with a few other tasty morsels. It's a treat for the body AND the taste buds.
