Himalayan Finger - Millet
This ancient variety of hard cereal, rich in amino acids, has been cultivated in the arid mountainous regions of Africa for 5000 years, and in Asia, in the Himalayas up to 2300 m altitude, where the seeds are also used to make beer.
Eleusine is native to East Africa and is grown on almost 3 million hectares in Africa. It has a fasciculated, fibrous and extremely powerful root system. This makes it difficult to uproot, but also makes it an exceptional soil restorer. It can develop 8 tonnes of dry aerial biomass per hectare in the space of three months. This makes it an exceptional carbon plant.
