Millets are a group of highly variable small-seeded grasses, widely grown around the world as cereal crops or grains for fodder and human food.
Millet is a gluten-free cereal, so it is easily digestible. Because of its carbohydrate content, it is an ideal food for energy intake. Peeled millet is a cereal that is rich in minerals, especially iron.
Millets are important crops in the semiarid tropics of Asia and Africa (especially in India, Mali, Nigeria, and Niger), with 97% of millet production in developing countries. The crop is favored due to its productivity and short growing season under dry, high-temperature conditions.
In 2016, global production of millet was 28.4 million tonnes, led by India with 36% of the world total. Niger also had significant production.
