“…Millet grains are widely consumed as a source of traditional medicines and are important food to preserve health. The phytonutrients and vitamins may be responsible for the antioxidant, anticancer and anti-inflammatory, antifungal, and blood clot inhibition properties of millet crops (Dykes & Rooney, 2007;Yadav, Chaudhary, Singh, & Gupta, 2013).…”

The available cultivable plant‐based food resources in developing tropical countries are inadequate to supply proteins for both human and animals. Such limition of available plant food sources are due to shrinking of agricultural land, rapid urbanization, climate change, and tough competition between food and feed industries for existing food and feed crops. However, the cheapest food materials are those that are derived from plant sources which although they occur in abundance in nature, are still underutilized. At this juncture, identification, evaluation, and introduction of underexploited millet crops, including crops of tribal utility which are generally rich in protein is one of the long‐term viable solutions for a sustainable supply of food and feed materials. In view of the above, the present review endeavors to highlight the nutritional and functional potential of underexploited millet crops. Practical applications Millets are an important food crop at a global level with a significant economic impact on developing countries. Millets have advantageous characteristics as they are drought and pest‐resistance grains. Millets are considered as high‐energy yielding nourishing foods which help in addressing malnutrition. Millet‐based foods are considered as potential prebiotic and probiotics with prospective health benefits. Grains of these millet species are widely consumed as a source of traditional medicines and important food to preserve health.

Background: Millets have emerged as a focal point in a search for sustainable and nutritious food sources in recent years, particularly in India. Millets are a group of ancient cereal grains that stand as nutritional powerhouses with diverse health benefits, making them a valuable addition to diets worldwide. These hardy crops grow in a variety of agro-climatic conditions, requiring less water and inputs in comparison to other primary cereal grains. Millet's low glycemic index helps to stabilize blood sugar levels, while its high fiber content benefits heart health by lowering LDL cholesterol levels and increasing good cholesterol. Millets have recently attracted global attention for their potential to alleviate nutrition concerns along with promoting environmental sustainability. The Government of India proposed declaring 2023 the International Year of Millets at the United Nations General Assembly, which was supported by 71 countries. Governments, non-governmental organizations and research institutions are working together to promote awareness, produce improved millet varieties and implement policies that benefit millet farming communities. Aim: To prepare comprehensive data on millet's nutritional profile, potential health benefits, and sustainable cultivation practices. Review Results: In the available literature, it is observed that various types of millets are available and some of them are nutrition-rich while others have different health benefits. Conclusion: By promoting the cultivation of millets, we can diversify our food systems, reduce the pressure on staple crops, enhance agro-biodiversity and contribute to sustainable agricultural practices.

Kodo millet is one of the underutilized and nutritious minor millet. Not much work has been done in the utilization of this millet hence the present study was taken up with an objective to develop value added product masala khakhra, analyze its nutritional composition and study shelf life. Masala khakhra was prepared by incorporating Kodo flour replacing wheat flour at different proportions. Nutritional composition was analyzed by using standard protocols. Results revealed that, developed product was acceptable up to 60% Kodo flour incorporation. Developed product had 12 g protein, 3 g fat, 57 g carbohydrate, 13 g crude Fibre and 295 K. calories of energy. Free fatty acid, peroxide value and microbial load were within safe limits up to 60 days. Thus, acceptable shelf stable value added products can be developed from Kodo millet.
