Pearl millet

A type of cereal grain known scientifically as Pennisetum glaucum, widely cultivated in arid and semi-arid regions, particularly in Africa and India. It is valued for its resilience to harsh conditions, including poor soil and low rainfall, and is used in various traditional dishes, as animal fodder, and for brewing. Pearl millet is rich in nutrients such as protein, fiber, iron, and zinc, and is gluten-free, making it suitable for individuals with celiac disease or gluten intolerance.
