Acceptance of Millets in Aspects of Nutritional Profiles, Health and Environmental Benefits

Millets are one of the oldest crops known to humans. Millets are small-seeded grasses belonging to the botanical family Poaceae. In Ayurvedic classics they are named as Kshudra dhanya. Common Millets available in India are Sorghum, Pearl Millet, Finger Millet, Foxtail Millet, Barnyard Millet, Kodo Millet, Little Millet, Proso Millet. Millets are good for the environment as they are the carbon neutral crops and also minimum fertilizers as well as pesticides are used for their cultivation.

Millets have significant role in traditional diets of different regions throughout the India. Millets are rich sources of nutrients like carbohydrate, protein, good-quality fat, dietary fibre and have sufficient amounts of minerals like calcium, potassium, magnesium, iron, manganese, zinc and B complex vitamins.
