Millet is one of the oldest cereals in China, and it was used by people as early as 5,000 years ago in the Neolithic Age. Sweet taste, rich nutrition and high edible value. The nutritional value of millet will be introduced in detail below.

Only moderate consumption can make us really benefit from Xiaomi!
