Abstract

Global population growth necessitates addressing food and health issues caused by an imbalanced diet of high-calorie fast foods. The so-called universal diseases of the modern day include issues with obesity, diabetes, cardiac arrests, porous bones, depression, and others. There are a tonne of cereal options that are tasty, affordable, but unhealthful. People today place a high value on their health. In the age of pandemics, millets are considered one of the richest sources of nutrients and have many health advantages. Sorghum (Jowar), Pearl (Bajra), Finger (Mandua or Ragi), Foxtail (Kangni or Kanguni), Porso (China or Barre), Kodo (Kodon or Kodara), Little (Kutki), and Barnyard (Sanwa or Shyama) millets are only a few of the many varieties of millet. Researchers are demonstrating that millet is a superior cereal choice over other grains. Protein, nutrients, minerals, vitamins, phytochemicals, and energy are all present. It may be possible to address the detrimental effects of agriculture and food security by using value-added millets. In order to improve consumption of health, the review concentrated on millet's nutritional content and health benefits.
