Barnyard Millet 500g / Scheunenhirse 500g

Barnyard millet (Echinochloa species) is an increasingly important crop in Asia, with global production on the rise. There are two major barnyard millet species, Echinochloa esculenta and Echinochloa frumentacea, which are primarily grown for human consumption and livestock feed. These crops are relatively resistant to stress factors like pests and diseases. Barnyard millet grain is a good source of protein, carbohydrate, and fiber. It also contains higher levels of micronutrients like iron and zinc than other major cereals.
