Key Points

Kodon, Kutki, Hraka, Bauti are examples of millets.
Millets are a group of highly variable small-seeded grasses, widely grown around the world as cereal crops or grains.
They are rich in fiber and protein, and are considered to be highly nutritious.
Millets are also used in brewing millet beer in some cultures.

Additional Information

Millets are important crops in the semiarid tropics of Asia and Africa, with 97% of millet production in developing countries.
The crop is favored due to its productivity and short growing season under dry, high-temperature conditions.
Millets are indigenous to many parts of the world. The most widely grown millet is pearl millet, which is an important crop in India and parts of Africa.
Finger millet, proso millet, and foxtail millet are also important crop species.
Millets may have been consumed by humans for about 7,000 years and potentially had "a pivotal role in the rise of multi-crop agriculture and settled farming societies".
