While we're busy with other priorities now, the North American Millets Alliance is still very active... #millets #MyXAnniversary
#Adlay or Job's tears (Coix lacryma-jobi) is our #milletofthemonth in December. It is native to SE Asia, & and its cultivation and use have spread north & west in Asia. It is not to our knowledge grown at scale in North America. #IYM2023 #jobstears

In @bonappetit (2016), @marguerite_s_p touted #adlay / #JobsTears as "the next cult gluten-free grain." That may not have happened (yet), but this unique millet could have broader potential appeal. Note quotes from chefs & food writers. #IYM2023

Teff (Eragrostis tef) is our #milletofthemonth in November.
It is native to the Horn of Africa, and some 90% of grain #teff is grown in Ethiopia. However interest in this grain has led to its being grown in other regions, including in North America.

Fermented flour of #teff is traditionally used in Ethiopian & Eritrean cuisine to make injera bread, a staple.
However, this flavorful (and nutritious) grain can be cooked and baked in various ways. This article is a very good tour of some of the ways:

If you see #teff grain or flour for sale in the US, chances are it was grown domestically. However, Ethiopia does export some teff.
A small collection of images of teff products, as well as of the plant & its grains, can be seen at pinterest.com/drdonosborn/fo…

This month we are turning from our focus on #millets as food, to consider the surprising range of other uses of millets in North America - on farms (for feeding animals & as cover crops), in wildlife areas, and in other settings. These are versatile as well as resilient crops.
