ABSTRACT
Millets are important cereal grains characterized by small seeds with the capability to grow even under harsh environmental conditions. The crop can help maintain sustainability in the agro-industrial sector. Millets have the potential to grow in conditions of minimal water/drought, and they could also be considered as a water-saving crop as they pose no major risk to ground water level. Determination of nutritional composition is a key factor that can solve the food insecurity problems and may help to overcome malnutrition. Millet grains are good sources of many health-benefiting nutrient components. The content of glutelin fractions and prolamin dominates over other protein types such as albumins and globulins. Lipids are also important from the nutritional point of view as they help in various reactions in the biological system. Minerals and vitamins are specific nutrients that are present in natural resources and are required for sustaining normal metabolic reactions in the body.
