The rediscovery of millets: a culinary revolution

In the world of nutrition, millet has become an unsung hero, brimming with positive benefits. In India, one of the most populous countries in the world, millets accounted for 40 percent of cereal cultivation for a long time, but were then increasingly replaced by high-yielding wheat. However, due to its key health qualities, the "forgotten" grain could now make a global comeback and offer a solution to the nutritional problems of the growing world population - because although grains such as wheat provide adequate amounts of calories, they do not necessarily contain enough vitamins and other necessary substances to effectively combat malnutrition. Incidentally, 2023 was declared the International Year of Millets on the initiative of India.
