On marginal land in dry areas, the group of small-seeded annual grasses known as millets is cultivated primarily as a grain crop. Millets, an ancient food grain that is presently farmed in 131 nations, were originally developed for human consumption. Millets are a staple diet for 59 crore people in Asia and Africa. Millets are the only crop that will be able to address challenges in the future related to food, feed, fuel, malnutrition, health, and climate change. Nutri-Cereals, sometimes referred to as millets, are a fantastic source of nutrients. When it comes to nutrition and health advantages, millets are amazing. A recent study found that millets can lower the risk of cardiovascular disease. Millets aid in weight loss. the distinctive qualities of millets, such as their high fibre content.
