Sci-Tech Encyclopedia: Millet

A common name applied to at least five related members of the grass family grown for their edible seeds: foxtail millet (Setaria italica), proso millet (Panicum miliaceum), pearl or cat-tail millet (Pennisetum typhoideum), Japanese barnyard millet (Echinochloa frumentacea), raggee or finger millet (Eleusine coracana), and koda millet (Paspalum scrobiculatum).

As a crop for human food, pearl millet is grown widely in the tropics and subtropics in regions of limited rainfall where there is a growing season of 90 to 120 days. The naked seeds are yellowish to whitish in color and about the size of wheat grain. The dried grain is usually pulverized to make a meal or flour and then cooked in soups, in porridge, or as cakes.
