Nutrition Facts
Millet is a good source of magnesium, a mineral that may help prevent migraines, lower blood pressure and reduce heart disease risk.
Millet is also high in phosphorus, a mineral needed to form bone, DNA and cell membranes. It is also used to turn fat into energy.
Like other whole grains, millet is rich in plant nutrients called polyphenols. Polyphenols are antioxidants that remove free radicals from the body before they can damage healthy cells, which may reduce the risk of cancer and heart disease. Whole grains also contain plant nutrients called lignans which may help prevent breast cancer and heart disease.
Kale is an excellent source of antioxidant vitamins A, C and K that may help lower overall inflammation. Kale is rich in plant nutrients called glucosinolates that may prevent cancer cells from multiplying. Kale also contains fibre that can help lower cholesterol levels, particularly when it is cooked.
