“…Traditional Recipes: Millets have been an integral part of traditional cuisines in various parts of the world, from Asia to Africa. In India, for instance, 'Ragi Mudde,' a ball made of finger millet, is a staple food in some regions [80]. Similarly, in Africa, pearl millet is commonly used to make 'Tô,' a kind of dough often consumed with soup or stew [81].…”

A comprehensive analysis of millets, small-seeded Poaceae family grains that have been traditionally cultivated in semi-arid regions of Africa and Asia. The primary objective is to elucidate the multi-faceted advantages of millets, encompassing nutritional, metabolic, and immunological benefits, in addition to their significance in sustainable agriculture and ethical trade. Millets are rich in essential macronutrients and micronutrients, including but not limited to, carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals. They also contain bioactive compounds such as phenolic acids, flavonoids, and antioxidants. The ethical dimensions of millet cultivation are emphasized, focusing on fair trade protocols that could significantly elevate the socio-economic status of marginalized farmers. Millets also hold distinct cultural and traditional relevance in various indigenous communities, thus positing a loss in millet agriculture as a loss of cultural heritage. A critical gap in current literature is identified in the domains of farming practices, climate adaptability, and socio-economic implications of millet cultivation. Although millets have been evaluated for their nutritional profile, research is scant in areas like optimal agronomic practices, the potential impact of climatic variations, and social-economic ramifications of millet-based agriculture. Future research paradigms could profitably focus on the utility of millets in managing chronic lifestyle disorders and their integrative role in sustainable agricultural frameworks.

Millets are consumed by more than one-third of the world's population. They hold significant importance as a staple food in many developing countries due to their ability to thrive under adverse weather conditions, such as limited rainfall. Furthermore, millet boasts numerous nutritious and medicinal properties. They are nutritionally comparable, and in some aspects, superior to other cereals, offering higher levels of protein, energy, vitamins, and minerals. Future trends should prioritize increasing millet consumption in developing countries, as this could contribute to an industrial revolution. While milk is widely considered a complete food, it has been associated with various health problems due to elevated levels of saturated fatty acids and a lack of dietary fiber. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in enhancing the nutritional value of milk and milk products by incorporating millet. This involves creating composite dairy foods such as fermented, frozen, heat-desiccated, acid-coagulated, and other complementary dairy products in the dairy industry. The objectives of this review are to provide information on millet, highlight the nutritional significance of millet, and explore various fortified milk and milk products with millets, along with innovative ideas for dairy foods.
