Hengshan Millet and Coarse Grains

Hengshan Millet and Coarse Grains

　　The vast mountainous areas of Hengshan are rich in drought-resistant crops such as millet grain. After hulling and processing, these grains become millet. The millet produced here is round, plump, and golden in color, with a delicious taste and rich nutrition. It is high in crude protein and crude fat, and also contains a wealth of over ten types of trace elements, including vitamins A and B. Traditional Chinese medicine has long documented that millet can eliminate dampness, strengthen the spleen, calm the nerves, and aid sleep. It is a popular food item in modern households and is known as the “little ginseng” of the frontier region. Hengshan coarse grains are carefully crafted from a variety of locally grown beans and grains, including mung beans, red beans, millet, soft glutinous millet, rice, lentils, and cowpeas. With a wide range of varieties and superior quality, they are rich in essential nutrients for the human body, such as protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, and fiber, as well as medicinal compounds. They serve not only as traditional staple foods but also as modern health products, possessing the unique dual benefits of both food and medicine.
