Whether millet is suitable for summer or winter consumption depends on the type of millet. Some millets have warming properties, making them ideal for winter, while others have cooling properties, making them suitable for summer.
Here's a breakdown:
-
Warming Millets (Best for Winter):
- Ragi (Finger Millet)
- Foxtail Millet
- Bajra (Pearl Millet)
- Barnyard Millet
-
Cooling Millets (Best for Summer):
- Little Millet
- Proso Millet
Therefore, millet itself is neither strictly a summer nor a winter grain; it's crucial to choose the appropriate type based on its warming or cooling properties according to the season.
