Millets are one of the oldest foods known to humankind and this good-old grain, packed with nutrition, is back as a superfood. Millets are highly nutritious and can potentially be a solution for India's chronic disease burden as they are gluten-free, high in dietary fibre as well as micronutrients such as calcium, iron and phosphorus. Watch this special report on the super food.

Nice to read above and hear Dr Bhandari in the video. Certainly, changing life style and dietary choices emerged over past few decades made millets away from plate. It is good that this misconception is dying out. Choosing millets as strategic option to fight hidden hunger for community programs like mid day meal etc may have far reaching impact. Hope India will show an impact in International Year with our traditional knowledge and recipe on millets.

Millets can be grown in varied climatic and soil conditions or terrains. This property allows different kinds and variants of millet based crops to thrive and become staple diet also rich in micronutrients thereby preventing diseases and deficiencies. Millets over the years have made their way back to the kitchens of even the affluent given their great nutritional quotient. 2023 being declared International year of the Millets is a bold and resounding commitment to promote this superfood.

Totally agreed. Millets should be preferred over wheat. They have healing power.

It is a known fact and my personal experience also that we should avoid gluten. I have removed paranoid psychotic disorder and acute suicidal depression in 5 days just by removing gluten in diet. Gluten is in wheat, rye, barley, oats. Bread, SAMOSA, KACHORI, PATASI have gluten. Millets (unless fungal infested) JAWAR, BAJARA are safe. So are IDLI DOSA.
