Millets are group of small seeded grasses that have been cultivated for thousands of years in various parts of the world. They are highly nutritious and versatile, making them an essential part of many traditional diets.

There are several types of millets like Sorghum, Pearl millet, Proso millet, Kodo millet, Finger millet, Foxtail millet and Barnyard millet, Little millet, Browntop millet. Each type has its unique nutritional profile and uses. A...

Millets are nutritionally superior indigenous staple crops packed with high protein, vitamins, and minerals. However, anti-nutrients such as phytic acid, tannins, and polyphenols present in the millets tend to reduce the bio-accessibility of minerals (iron and zinc), due to which the millet diets are greatly compromised. Although most of the cereals, such as wheat flour, brown rice, and barley, contain phytic acid to a level far more than that of the millets, it is important to develop feasible household methods to reduce the level of phytic acid so as to enhance nutrient absorption. The prese...

Summary Nutrition is the source of energy that is required to carry out all the processes of human body. A balanced diet is a combination of both macro- and micronutrients. “Nutritional inadequacy” involves an intake of nutrients that is lower than the estimated average requirement, whereas “nutritional deficiency” consists of severely reduced levels of one or more nutrients, making the body unable to normally perform its functions and thus leading to an increased risk of several diseases like cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. Malnutrition could be caused by environmental factors, like food...

Simple Summary Our aim is to introduce the mineral nutrition of fish and explain the complexity of determining requirements for these elements, which are absorbed and excreted by the fish into the surrounding water. To date, only the requirements for nine minerals have been investigated. The review is focused on the absorption and the dietary factors that reduce their absorption from feed ingredients of plant and animal origin. Some diseases, such as cataracts, anemia and bone deformity, have been linked to dietary deficiency of minerals. Abstract Aquatic animals have unique physiological mech...
