Opis

Small Millets are highly nutritious and even superior to wheat and rice in certain constituents, so they are now considered as 'nutricereals' (nutritious grains) for their own unique nutritional value. The ingestion of micronutrients in low-income rural families of millet-growing areas is less as compared to recommended diet intake. Any increase in quality of millets might have significant role in combating micronutrient malnutrition for human health over the world. Even after nutrient richness of millets, there is a need to work for more production with quality addition in millets to change the billions of people from nutrient insufficiency to nutrient adequacy. Small millets consist a number of distinct species of small-seeded that are grown for grain purpose, each with their own unique traits and very good nutritional value, in which finger millet is one of the promising small millet. Poverty and diets poor in nutrition are prime reasons for prevalence of malnutrition, nutritionally dense crops offer an inexpensive and sustainable solution to the problem of malnutrition. Remarkably, millets are nutritionally superior to major non-millet cereals.
