Millets are small-grained cereals that have been a vital part of our diet for centuries. They serve as the main food source in semi-arid tropics and help ensure nutritional security for the poor. Millets are environmentally friendly, requiring less water and inputs. They are nutrient-rich, boosting our health and supporting weight loss, and are also gluten-free. As climate-resilient crops, millets play a significant role in reducing greenhouse gases. Bajra, or Pearl millet, contains fibre that enhances its health benefits. Finger millet, or ragi, is the highest source of calcium and potassium. It also contains high levels of dietary fibre, minerals, and sulphur-containing amino acids. Little millet has a high protein, fat, and dietary fibre content, along with minerals and low trans fats. Barnyard millet is particularly effective at lowering blood glucose and lipid levels. These hardy plants can grow in water-scarce and low-nutrition areas, making them e+ssential crops for the future to eradicate poverty.
