Millets being rain fed crops do not require standing water in their fields, so no need for big dams, forests going under reservoirs and elaborate canal systems to get water to the farms. Millets do not need any fertility enhancement or pesticides to grow well and yield a good harvest.Millets require less water than rice and wheat. They are very tolerant of heat (up to 64 degrees Celsius), drought and flood and it makes the crop an obvious choice for farmers in an era of climate change and depleting natural resources. Millets being rain fed crops, do not require standing water in their fields, so no need for big dams, forests going under reservoirs and elaborate canal systems to get water to the farms. Millets do not need any fertility enhancement or pesticides to grow well and yield a good harvest. Cereals are grown as the main crop, with large grain, and in good soil; millets, on the other hand, are grown as a mixed crop, with small grain, and in poor soil. Cereals require a lot of rain to grow; on the other hand, millets require little rain because they grow in dry areas and are drought resistant. Health-promoting nutritious crop: Compared to other cereals they have superior micronutrient profile and bioactive flavonoids. Millets have a low Glycaemic Index (GI) and also associated with the prevention of diabetes. They are good source of minerals like iron, zinc, and calcium. Millets are easy to digest and have high nutritional value when it comes to potassium magnesium and some kind of fats whereas grains are the ultimate source of energy-giving nutrients such as protein and carbohydrates. Unlike wheat and rice, millets are generally consumed in their whole form. This ensures that they have more fibre, more B vitamins, more minerals and a lower glycemic index. Millets are gluten-free and overall easier to digest. They keep you full longer and are far more satiating. Millets are high in nutrition and dietary fibre. They serve as good source of protein, micronutrients and phytochemicals. The millets contain 7-12% protein, 2-5% fat, 65-75% carbohydrates and 15-20% dietary fibre. The essential amino acid profile of the millet protein is better than various cereals such as maize. Millets are high in fibre and low in simple sugars, making them a good carbohydrate source. As a result, it has a low glycemic index, and it demonstrates reduced blood sugar levels compared to wheat or rice.
