| Abstract | One of the oldest crops in the world, millets have remained neglected particularly in terms of human consumption and have been used mostly as feed and fodder. However, with population expulsion and increasing food insecurity, millets are getting the revived research attention. Because of its multi-faceted qualities, millets have been dubeed as ‘nutri-cereals’. These are one of the most weather-resistant crops and can survive in most of the adverse conditions. Bio-processing of millets have been done traditionally in households since ancient times, as processing enhances the nutritional attributes of the grains. These methods can potentially be mechanized and eventually used for production of bio-processed flours with improved functionality. Multiple flours can be combined to get multiple valorised cereal food products, which can potentially help in improving the situation of food insecurity. |
