Millet

Millets are a group of small-seeded cereal grasses, cultivated as grains for food and fodder, known for their nutritional value and ability to grow in harsh environments. They are rich in minerals, fiber, and phytochemicals, offering therapeutic properties and a viable solution for malnutrition and food insecurity. Common types include Pearl Millet (Bajra), Foxtail Millet, Finger Millet (Ragi), and Barnyard Millet, which are used in various dishes like porridges, flatbreads, and as alternatives to rice and wheat.
In India Millet is not a single grain, but a category of different grains, each with its own common Indian names. Key examples include Bajra (Pearl Millet), Jowar (Sorghum), Ragi (Finger Millet), and Kangni (Foxtail Millet).
