MILLETS AND HEALTH NUTRIATION

Millets are grains that have long been used for their nutritional and therapeutic properties. Millets are mostly farmed in Asia and utilised as a food source. Millets are little grains that grow in warm conditions and are mem-bers of the grass family. Millets are resilient grains that can withstand a wide range of weather conditions. They supply nutrients necessary for the physiological functioning of the human body. Millets are classified into two types: Major Millets and Minor Millets, based on grain size. Millets contain protein, fat, carbs, and fibre, among other things. Millets are more nutritious than other high-quality grains. Millets were also high in phosphorus and iron. Millets have therapeutic properties due to the presence of tannins, polyphenols, phytosterols, and anthocy-anins, among other things. Millets are used to cure and prevent metabolic illnesses, and they also have antioxi-dant properties.
