Millets are a group of highly variable small-seeded grasses, widely grown around the world as cereal cropsor grains for fodder and human food. 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.[1] The crop is favored due to its productivity and short growing season under dry, high-temperature conditions.
The most widely grown millet is pearl millet, which is an important crop in India and parts of Africa.[2] Finger millet, proso millet, and foxtail millet are also important crop species. In the developed world, millets are less important. For example, in the United States, only proso millet is significant, and it is mostly grown forbird seed.[1]
While millets are indigenous to many parts of the world, it is believed that they had an evolutionary origin in tropical western Africa, as that is where the greatest number of both wild and cultivated forms exist.[3]Millets have been important food staples in human history, particularly in Asia and Africa. They have been in cultivation in East Asia for the last 10,000 years.[4]

Description[edit]

The minor millets consumption has been in practice since the beginning of ancient civilizations of world. Generally, the millets are small-grained, annual, warm-weather cereals belonging to grass family. They are highly tolerant to extreme weather conditions such as drought and are nutritious compared to the major cereals such as rice and wheat. They contain low phytic acid and are rich in dietary fiber, iron, calcium, and B vitamins. Moreover, these millets release sugar slowly in the blood and also diminish the glucose absorption. These properties of the minor millets made the present consumers attracted to the consumption of millet.

What is the Difference between L-Threonine and L-Theanine? : What is the Difference between L-Threonine and L-Theanine? Updated on March 25, 2010 What is the Difference between L-Threonine and L-Theanine? Both L-Threonine and L-Theanine are amino acids, and they are easily confused because their names only differ by a couple of letters. Even vitamin shop clerks confuse them and can bring you  l-theanine powder  instead of l-threonine capsules or vice versa. Below I’ve listed the main differences between l-threonine and l-theanine. L-threonine is an amino acid typically found in meat (especially heart, skeletal muscles) and in the nervous system. You shouldn’t confuse it with L-theanine, an amino acid found uniquely in green tea, which is a very different substance. What Does L-Threonine Do? L-Threonine is a precursor of glycine synthesis in the spinal cord and is essential for a healthy nervous system. The supplement plays an important role in the formation of collagen and elastin. Wh
