Millet is also one of the best grains for those with intestinal disorders and is the ideal grain for the management of blood sugar imbalances. When I was a breeder of parrots, finches and canaries, I used to feed millet panicles or sprays to my weaning youngsters as a part of their diet. Young and older birds alike relish its nutty, mild flavor. Pearl millet can be purchased at a natural foods market. In the summertime, I grow a little patch of wild millet and my birds receive freshly harvested panicles at various stages of growth.
Sprouted millet is a highly favored nutrient and enzyme-rich food.
Harvest these sprouts just after the tiny little shoots have emerged.
