Rich in antioxidants

Millets are rich in phenolic chemicals, including ferulic acid and catechins. These molecules function as antioxidants, shielding your body from potentially damaging oxidative stress. Ferulic acid has been linked to faster wound healing, skin protection, and anti-inflammatory activities in animal studies.

Catechins, on the other hand, bind to heavy metals in your system, preventing metal poisoning. While all millet kinds contain antioxidants, those with a darker hue, such as a finger, proso, and foxtail millet, have a higher concentration than their white or yellow counterparts.
