Foxtail millet is a small, pale-yellow grain with a delicate nutty flavor. It is often used as an alternative to rice and wheat because of its high nutritional value, including protein, fiber, minerals such as iron and potassium, vitamin B12 (which aids the heart and nervous system). Foxtail millet is also beneficial for people with diabetes or those looking to manage their weight due to its slow absorption rate which helps regulate blood sugar levels.
