What is a Millet?
        MIL'LET
        , the grain of the cultivated panic-grass (Panicum miliaceum) or of du-rah (variously spelled, but thus pronounced). Eze 4:9. Both these large grasses are often sown in the Levant, and perhaps both may be included under the term millet. Durah or Egyptian corn (Sorghum vulgare) resembles maize in size and general appearance, and is largely cultivated upon the Nile. Both the above are grown in Palestine and used for bread. (See cut, p. 572.)
