What does MILLET mean in Scrabble?
noun
Any of several small-seeded cereal grasses grown for grain and animal feed, especially in warm, dry regions.
Millet is valued because it grows well in poor soil and drought conditions where crops like wheat or rice would fail, which has made it a staple across parts of Africa and Asia for thousands of years. The tiny round seeds are ground into flour, cooked whole like rice, or used as birdseed and livestock feed. Several unrelated grasses are called millet, including pearl millet, foxtail millet, and proso millet.
