A Kibi dango (黍団子, きびだんご, "millet dumpling") is a Japanese dumpling made from the meal or flour of the kibi (proso millet) grain. The treat was used by folktale-hero Momotarō (the Peach Boy) to recruit his three beastly retainers, in the commonly known version of the tale. Conventionally, kibi dango or kibi mochi uses the sticky variety proso millet known as mochi kibi, rather thant the regular (amylose-rich) millet used for creating sweets.
