About This Website

This website exists to provide comprehensive and accessible information about millets. In an era of health trends and superfood marketing, there is a real need for a single, well-organised resource that presents millet information based on evidence rather than hype.

We cover nutrition (sourced from ICMR-NIN and USDA databases), traditional recipes, Ayurvedic properties (referenced from classical texts like Charaka Samhita and Bhavaprakasha Nighantu), cultivation practices, and historical context. We believe that understanding millets fully — not just as a health food, but as a cultural, ecological, and agricultural treasure — is key to their revival.

Nutritional data follows the ICMR-NIN Indian Food Composition Tables (2017) as the primary reference. Ayurvedic information is attributed to specific classical texts. We distinguish between well-established science and preliminary evidence.
