Put on any nutritional parameter, millet will always have an edge over our everyday grains. But somewhere their importance was lost till recent times. Due to their rough texture, unattractive appearance, low cost and easy availability- they started being considered a poor man’s food and the polished, attractive, less nutritious food landed on the affluent man’s plate. If consumed on regular basis, ailments caused due to lack of fiber, iron, calcium, protein, and other vitamins can be warded off. And also, being gluten-free, they can be consumed by people suffering from disease. Little Millet- A perfect substitute of rice- it is a store house of nutrition. Rich in calcium, zinc, iron and potassium- a must include in our diets. It contains unsaturated fat which is ideal for our metabolism.
