What are millets?

Millets are a group of small-seeded cereal grains that have been cultivated for thousands of years and are widely grown in India, Africa, and other parts of Asia. They are highly nutritious and naturally rich in fibre, protein, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

Common millets include finger millet (ragi), pearl millet (bajra), sorghum (jowar), foxtail millet, little millet, barnyard millet, kodo millet, and proso millet. Millets are often called nutri-cereals because they provide more nutrients than many refined grains and support healthy digestion, heart health, and blood sugar management.
