Millet
Dried millet stalks are bundled together and tied with rope (or leaves) and then secured to wooden poles anchored in the ground to create walls within a Chadian home. We set up this wall (above) in our home to section off a portion of the yard for clothes washing.
The wall sat in our yard for a time waiting to be installed and fastened to the wooden polls. Then when rainy season came, in the place where the “wall” (dried stalks of millet) had been resting to await its installation, we noticed something happening. New millet stalks started to sprout up in that place: Generic Zoloft
This grain is so valuable here in Chad and a staple in the Chadians’ diet. Millet plants are famous for their ability to grow in difficult climates with zero to very little irrigation. When it is ready to be harvested, the plant is cut at the base, the heads are beaten to separate the grains, and the stalks are dried. Here is a closeup of the head of the plant:
Did you know that millet is even mentioned in the Bible?
