Inā hoʻopiha ʻia kāu kīʻaha a meaʻai paha me nā meaʻai olakino e like me ka laiki brown, quinoa, a oats, maikaʻi kēlā! Akā inā ʻaʻole ʻoe i hoʻāʻo millet, ʻO ka palaoa i ʻike ʻole ʻia e ʻike nui ʻia ana no kāna mau meaʻai a me nā pono kaiapuni, ʻo ia paha ka manawa kūpono e hopu ai i kekahi ma kāu mākeke kūloko a i ʻole ma ka pūnaewele a hoʻāʻo.

ʻO kēia mau meaʻai palaoa piha ua hōʻike ʻia e hāʻawi i kahi ʻano o nā pono olakino, me ka hoʻomalu maikaʻi ʻana o koko koko a cholesterol a mahuahua antioxidant hana. E heluhelu mai e aʻo pehea e hiki ai i ka millet ke kōkua iā ʻoe e hoʻomaikaʻi i kou olakino, pehea e hoʻokomo ai i kāu meaʻai, a me nā mea e ʻike ai e pili ana i nā ala maikaʻi loa a palekana e loaʻa ai ka pōmaikaʻi nui mai kēia palaoa kahiko.

ʻAʻole pili ka huaʻōlelo "millet" i hoʻokahi ʻano o ka palaoa akā i kekahi mau ʻano mauʻu i ulu ʻia no kā lākou mau hua ʻai, e like me ka Britannica. ʻOiai ʻaʻole i ʻike nui ʻia ka millet e like me nā kīʻaha ʻē aʻe, ua puni ia no ka manawa lōʻihi loa. ʻO kēia meaʻai starchy kekahi o nā huaʻai kahiko loa i mahi ʻia ma ka honua, a ua ʻike ʻia ma nā wahi archaeological ma Asia a me ʻApelika i ʻoi aku ma mua o 7,500 mau makahiki, e like me ka Oldways Whole Grains Council, he hui mea kūʻai waiwai ʻole e hana ana e hoʻonui i ka ʻike a me ka ʻai ʻana i nā kīʻaha holoʻokoʻa no ke olakino maikaʻi.

I kēia lā, ʻo ka millet kahi mea nui i nā meaʻai kuʻuna ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa, me nā mea a pau mai nā porridges a me nā palaoa pālahalaha a i nā mea inu fermented. A no ka mea ʻole ka gluten, hoʻohana mau ʻia ka palaoa millet e hana i nā huahana gluten-free. Hoʻohana nui ʻia ia ma ke ʻano he meaʻai no nā holoholona hānai a i ʻole he hua manu, e like me Oldways.

Ma muli o ka paʻakikī o ka millet, ʻo nā mea kanu mālama haʻahaʻa e ulu wikiwiki ana (ma kahi kokoke i ka hapalua o ka manawa o ka palaoa a me ka raiki e oʻo ai) a hiki ke ulu i ka maikaʻi ʻole o ka lepo, ka maloʻo maloʻo, a me nā wā maloʻo, ua lanakila lākou ma ke ʻano he waiwai waiwai e hiki ai ke pale aku i ka pololi a me ka ʻai ʻole i nā wahi o ka honua i pilikia i ka hoʻololi ʻana i ke aniau a me nā kumu waiwai kūlohelohe, no Oldways.

I ka makahiki 2023, ka Hui Meaʻai a Mahiʻai (FAO) ʻO ka United Nations i kapa ʻia i kēlā makahiki ka "International Year of the Millets" ma ke ʻano he ala e hōʻike ai i ke koʻikoʻi o nā millets i ka lako meaʻai honua.

A laila, aia nā pono olakino nui i pili i ka ʻai ʻana i ka millet. "He palaoa holoʻokoʻa ia, no laila he nui nā haʻalulu paʻakikī a me ka fiber, a he kumu maikaʻi hoʻi ia o ka protein," wahi a ʻO John "Wesley" McWhorter, DrPH, RDN, he waha ʻōlelo aupuni no ka Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, ke alakaʻi o ka lāʻau ola ola no Suvida Healthcare, a he chef ʻoihana.

Ka noiʻi e hōʻike ana i hiki i ka millet ke hana i ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i ka hana o ka ʻōpū, kaohi ʻana i ke kō koko a me ka cholesterol, a me ka mālama ʻana i ke ola kino. Haʻawina Ua hōʻike pū kekahi i ka millet i loko o nā kiʻekiʻe o nā antioxidants, ʻaʻole ia he hale mana meaʻai wale nō akā he meaʻai e hoʻohaʻahaʻa i ka pilikia o ka maʻi kanesa i loko o ke kanaka.
