Nutritional values
The high proportion of silicic acid in millet has an extremely positive effect on hair and fingernails, promotes healthy, radiant skin and keeps connective tissue firm. Additionally, the grains contain important minerals and trace elements including iron.
It is recommended to wash your millet before using it to get rid of any sour flavor.

Preparation steps
In a pot, bring approximately 3/4 cup water to a boil. Stir in millet. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until millet has absorbed most of the water, about 7 minutes. Remove from heat. Let stand, covered, until millet is tender and fluffy, about 12 minutes more. Transfer to a bowl, season with salt, and let cool.
Meanwhile, rinse cucumber, wipe dry, halve lengthwise and scrape out seeds with a spoon. Finely chop cucumber.
Rinse parsley and mint, shake dry, pluck leaves and finely chop.
Rinse tomatoes, wipe dry, remove seeds and core and finely chop tomatoes. Squeeze juice from lemon.
Add vegetables and herbs along with olive oil and lemon juice to the bowl. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
