How To Grow Millet
An Introduction
The earliest recorded document about millet reports that it was a "holy plant" in China around 2800 BC. As an ancient stable of India, Egypt, and North Africa, millet was once as important as wheat is today. Millet is still a major food source in Asia and North Africa. This tiny seed grows from a vertical cone-shaped head. The hulls have a dull shine, yellow-gold or red-brown in some varieties. They have terrific survival abilities, responding equally well in drought and water-logged conditions. Recognized as birdseed and cattle feed in Britain and the U.S., millet has a long way to go to become a main dish on our tables

Jujube [fruit], Mill, or Chinese Date
This is Ziziphus Africana -- also called Mill -- or one of the many other Ziziphus varieties, which is commonly called "jujube", "jujube fruit", or "Chinese date". It is a fruit, which grows on trees and has nothing to do with millet, which is a grain.
Origin: The jujube originated in China where they have been cultivated for more than 4,000 years and where there are over 400 cultivars. The plants traveled beyond Asia centuries ago and today are grown to some extent in Russia, northern Africa, southern Europe, the Middle East and the southwestern United States. Jujube seedlings, inferior to the Chinese cultivars, were introduced into Europe at the beginning of the Christian era and carried to the U. S. in 1837. It wasn't until 1908 that improved Chinese selections were introduced by the USDA.
