In addition, the cellulose in millet can slow down the absorption of sugar, and moderate intake is helpful to control blood sugar and lose weight.

5. Vitamins and minerals

Millet is rich in vitamin B, including riboflavin, nicotinic acid, etc. Every 100 grams of millet contains about 0.33 mg of riboflavin (vitamin B2) and about 4.7 mg of nicotinic acid (vitamin B3), and also contains a proper amount of folic acid and vitamins E and K, etc. In addition, millet is a good mineral source, in which potassium is the key nutrient for heart health and blood pressure control, and it also contains many minerals such as magnesium, phosphorus and iron.
