Sesame, salt, and substance. A flagship bake.
Summary
The North American Millets Alliance (NAMA) is promoting millets as climate-resilient, nutritious ancient grains across the US, Canada, and Mexico. The article highlights that while millets have been domesticated for ages in Asia and Africa, their potential in North America remains largely unrealized amid climate change and growing interest in healthier eating. NAMA aims to change this by advocating for millets as a key part of the future of food and agriculture in the region.
Key quotes
· 3 pulledMillets are ancient grains that hold great promise for the future.
Domesticated ages ago in diverse parts of Asia and Africa, some of this group of small-grained crops have found uses in North America, but their potential in this time of climate change and concern for healthier eating, is largely unrealized.
Our goal is to change that.
