Millet groats, also known as jaggery, are a type of porridge made from the grains of millet (Panicum miliaceum). Millet is one of the oldest cultivated cereals in the world and has a rich history of consumption in various cultures.

Millet groats are characterised by small, round grains with a creamy colour. It has a delicate, slightly nutty flavour and a pleasant, fluffy texture when cooked. It is often used as a healthy alternative to traditional cereals such as rice or wheat.
