Abstract:

Kodo millets do not contain gluten and are useful for individuals who are intolerant to gluten. Kodo millet is very easy to digest due to higher amount of lecithin, which is good for functioning of the nervous system. Regular use of Kodo millet is very useful for postmenopausal females with indications of cardiovascular disease such as high blood pressure and high level of cholesterol. It includes higher amount of antioxidants that help against oxidative stress and maintain glucose concentrations in type-2 diabetes. Kodo millet is useful in curing asthma, migraine, blood pressure, heart attack and atherosclerosis, diabetic heart disease. So, research on production of millet based products is emerging area to utilize its beneficial effect considering increasing population in developing countries.
