	Millet -- A Healthy Whole Grain
		Millet has been used in Africa and India as a staple food for thousands of years and it was grown as early as 2700 BC in China where it was the prevalent grain before rice became the dominant staple.

		Millet is delicious as a cooked cereal and in casseroles, breads, soups, stews, soufflés, pilaf, and stuffing.

		Millet sent only three landscape paintings to the Salon, and his superb achievement as a landscapist was not recognized until his watercolor and pen and ink drawings of Vichy were revealed in the studio sale following his death and a large number of his pastels were shown in a benefit exhibition/sale later the same year.

	NCAW Winter 03 \| Maura Coughlin on Millet's Milkmaids (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Millet's own letters and pronouncements on his art invite a reading in which his rural origin functions as an index to the authenticity and personal resonance of his images, which, in turn, authenticate the genius and singularity of the peasant-painter Millet.

		Millet corroborates this sentiment in a letter of 1866 to Sensier, writing that the peasants of the Vichy region "are much more peasants than at Barbizon; they have that good, stupid kind of awkwardness which does not remind one in the least of the neighborhood of fashionable baths."
