The word millet defines small-seeded grasses mainly cultivated in Asia. In India, millet production is high in south India. Millets are predominantly starchy. Those are high in fibre and low in carbs compared to rice and wheat. Barnyard is one of the types among the millet family, which acts as a super-food. Barnyard millet is anti- acidic and gluten-free and is a good source of protein content, carbohydrates, fibre, and micro-nutrients (iron and zinc). It is recommended to patients with cardiovascular disease and diabetes, and helps in wound healing and constipation. You can include this super-food in your diet by making idli, dosa, upma, chapattis, porridge, or take it with well-cooked vegetable curry.
