millet
[U] Uncountable
This grain carries a strong association with resilience and survival in arid climates. It is often perceived as a hardy, rustic alternative to wheat or rice, frequently linked to traditional agriculture in Asia and Africa. In modern culinary contexts, it has shifted from a staple of necessity to a health-conscious choice. It is now marketed as a gluten-free superfood, appearing in gourmet bowls and health stores rather than just as livestock feed.
Uncountable when referring to the grain as a food source or crop in bulk.
