Abstract: Nutrition stands as a cornerstone in the realms of health and development, influencing immune strength, pregnancy safety, reduced non-communicable disease risks, and extended lifespans. Despite these benefits, contemporary lifestyles and dietary habits contribute to adverse health outcomes like obesity and diabetes. In this context, millets emerge as a promising solution—being lightweight and nutritionally dense. Millets, encompassing a diverse range of small-seeded grasses, are globally cultivated as cereal grains for both human and animal consumption. Belonging to the Poaceae or Gramineae family (grass family), millets serve as a nutritional powerhouse, boasting high levels of protein, fiber, magnesium, phosphorus, copper, potassium, and manganese. This article delves into the significance of millets in our daily lives, emphasizing their potential to counteract prevalent health issues. Furthermore, various millet preparations are explored, providing insights on how to seamlessly integrate them into our everyday diets. This comprehensive review aims to underscore the vital role millets can play in promoting a healthier and more sustainable lifestyle.
