over the past few years there has been a healthy food revolution,with the increasing health consciousness among the people.so,there is a huge demand of nutrient rich cereals.i have no wonder in saying that the ‘MILLETS’ have grown as a fad in this tryingtimes of chemical enriched food era.
what are millets?
MILLETS are cereal crops and small seed grasses,majorly cultivated in semi arid tropical regions of Asia and Africa.ex:jowar,ragi(finger millet),foxtail millets,pearl millets(bajra),little millet,kodo millet,etc

Do You Know?
Millets are used commonly to feed birds,until the health beneifits of millets are known to the world.However in various parts of India millets were used for a variety of dishes.especially for their incredible nutrient composition.
Each millet has some imcredible features..here are some millets and their beneifits:
JOWAR:a)Enriched with iron ,protein and fibre.

To meet the food demands of growing population especially in india,production of food grains has to be increased drastically.the easy way of increase in production can happen through chemicals and fertilizers.so we are consuming chemical enriched food instead of nutrient enriched food.this type of lifestyle prone to deadliest disease like cancer.as time changing,people are shifting their dietary patterns because of increasing health consciousness among them.Millets occupy the important role in the diet plan of the people.i am not exaggerating it, since from few years i have been observing especially in telugu states,people are showing interest to consume millets.our staple food rice has more carbohydrates which is not that much good for health.thatswhy people are slowly shifting towards millets and other types of rice like brownrice,etc.so,according to my vantage i would definately see the drastic change in the dietary habits of the people in the upcoming years.

Finally i conclude this article with a quote said by Hippocrates “If someone wishes for good health,one must first ask oneself if he is ready to do away the with reasons for his illness,only then it is possible to help him”. good health is the life’s greatest blessing.
