Abstract
Millets are one of the oldest foods known
to humans. These are the small-seeded
hardy crops belonging to gramineae
family which can grow well in dry zones/
rain-fed areas under marginal conditions of
soil fertility and moisture. Due to their short
growing season, these can develop from seeds
to ready to harvest crops in about 65 days.
This highly beneficial characteristic of the millets
is of vital importance in thickly populated regions
of the world. If stored properly, millets can keep
well for two years or beyond.
