What They Are: A group of ancient, drought-resistant small-seeded cereals (e.g., Finger Millet/Ragi, Pearl Millet/Bajra, Sorghum/Jowar). India is the global leader in production, revived as "Shree Anna" (Prime Grains).
Core Value Proposition:
Nutritional Powerhouses: Gluten-free, high in fiber, protein, magnesium, and iron (e.g., Ragi has 3x the calcium of milk). Low glycemic index supports metabolic health.
Climate-Smart & Sustainable: Require 70% less water than wheat/rice and grow in poor soils with minimal inputs, ideal for regenerative agriculture.
