Finger millet is a wonder grain and power house of nutrients. It has a high calcium and Iron content and it is Gluten free. That makes it suitable for GFCF diet as well. I introduced it my son when he was 6 months old, this is his favorite breakfast.
I prep a big batch of finger millet flour and use it as and when needed.
