Millet is a gluten-free grain that comes from a plant in the grass family. There are several types of millet but the most commonly grown and found in most American grocery stores is pearl millet. Archaeologists have found evidence that this type of millet was cultivated in Africa as far back as 8000 years ago. Millet has also been an important crop in China Korea and India for thousands of years (source).
