While we're busy with other priorities now, the North American Millets Alliance is still very active... #millets #MyXAnniversary

@davesgardenteam @bonappetit @marguerite_s_p The @101Cookbooks site also has an article promoting #adlay / #JobsTears, with a recipe: https://t.co/68FEjQWIKj

A @Youtube video by @mariadperrine has a good intro to adlay in cooking, with recipe examples. https://t.co/krFqP62D1j

#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

@davesgardenteam 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

@irri @ICRISAT @Mizzou As we near the end of the International Year of Millets, this final Webinar in our 2023 series - on Dec. 20 - will offer some broader considerations of where we are and where we might be going with these "small but mighty" grains. #IYM2023

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 https://t.co/ontOwDC00y

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:

@MURegenAg @Mizzou @USDA_NIFA 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.

@globeandmail It's actually "Year of Millets" (plural) as the article itself notes. #IYM2023
