Millets are a powerhouse of nutrients. They boost your health and improve weight loss, besides being gluten-free. Millets are available in a variety of types, and each has its own health benefits. Consuming millet as part of your daily diet is an age-old concept. The population of central and southern India consumed millet daily until the Green Revolution made rice and wheat more accessible.  With the boom of rice and wheat production, millets took a back seat for some years. However, they have now reclaimed their position in the kitchen and heart of health conscious individuals.
