The Story of Millet

Tradition: Millet has been cultivated in northern China for over 8,000 years, revered as one of the earliest domesticated grains. Known as “xiaomi,” it sustained ancient communities in the Yellow River Valley and remains a beloved staple in Chinese cuisine today, especially in nourishing porridges and traditional medicinal foods.

Science: Modern nutrition science confirms foxtail millet’s value as a nutrient-dense grain. With its protein, fiber, and mineral richness, it supports digestion, heart health, blood sugar balance, and bone strength. Its antioxidant compounds further protect against oxidative stress and aging.
