Millet is an Asian grain. Its technical name is "proso," and that's the name you'll find on millet purchased in U.S. stores. Millet looks like bright yellow mustard seeds, but when cooked, the seeds explode into pale yellow puffs. When fresh, it tastes mildly sweet with a very subtle alkaline aftertaste, says R. Wood.
