ABSTRACT

The available cultivable plant‐based food resources in developing tropical countries are inadequate to supply proteins for both humans and animals. Such limitations of avail‐ able plant food sources are due to the shrinking of agricultural land, rapid urbanization, climate change, and tough competition between food and feed industries for existing food and feed crops. However, the cheapest food materials are those that are derived from plant sources which although they occur in abundance in nature, are still un‐derutilized. At this juncture, identification, evaluation, and introduction of under‐ploited millet crops, including crops of tribal utility which are generally rich in protein is one of the long‐term viable solutions for a sustainable supply of food and feed materials. In view of the above, the present review endeavors to highlight the nutritional and functional potential of underexploited millet crops.
