Kodo millet is a monocot and an annual grass that grows to heights of approximately four feet.  It has an inflorescence that produces 4-6 racemes that are 4–9 cm long. Its slender, light green leaves grow to be 20 to 40 centimeters in length. The seeds it produces are very small and ellipsoidal, being approximately 1.5 mm in width and 2 mm in length; they vary in color from being light brown to a dark grey. Kodo millet has a shallow root system which may be ideal for intercropping.
