Abstract

Setariaitalica (L.) P. Beauv. is a modest plant which hasinternational focus of its nutritional values, which can reduce the world problem malnutrition. Focus, research and development of major crops are encouraged than regional crops like millets. Foxtail millet stands second largest cultivated species in millets.India is thelargest producer of millets in the world.It accounts for20% of global production & 80% of Asia’s production. One of oldest crop and been growing in East Asia since sixth millennium BC.As per thenutritional content is concerned, it has substantial amount of protein (12.3 g), carbohydrates (60–65 g), fiber (6 g), minerals (Phosphorous, calcium, iron, zinc, magnesium, sodium),Foxtail millet is very rich in high nutritious like high fiber, quality protein mineral composition & nutri-ceuticals andowns a very important medicinal values, Reducing Blood pressure & protects against heart diseases, prevents diabetes & breast cancer, Helps to optimize kidney, liver and immune system of health.
