In this paper, the author took commercial millet in Hohhot, such as Small fragrant rice, Jin Honggu, yellow millet, Huang Jinmiao and State of yellow, as the research object. And the physical characteristics, nutritional properties and millet gruel sensory indexes of the five millet varieties were detected and compared. The results showed that:In the physical properties of five varieties of millet, State of yellow has the best color; The weight of one thousand of its grains is the highest, as high as2.869g and its grain size is the largest, as large as1.686mm; Flower broken rate of Huang Jinmiao, Small fragrant rice and State of yellow is moderate, between87.33%-93.33%.
