LITTLE MILLET

Scientific name: Panicum sumatrense
Hindi name: Kutki
Telugu name: Saamalu

Little millet is grown throughout India and is one of the traditional crops. It is
mostly mix cropped with other millets, pulses and oilseeds. It is generally
consumed as rice and any recipe that demands staple rice can be prepared using
little millet. This species of cereal is similar in habit to the proso millet except
that it is smaller. It is an annual herbaceous plant, which grows straight or with
folded blades to a height of 30 cm to 1 m. The leaves are linear, sometimes with
hairy lamina and membranous hairy ligules.
Little millet is reported to have 37% to 38% of dietary fiber, termed as a
nutraceutical and highest among cereals. Thus, it is a complete food ingredient
suitable for large scale utilization as processed products, snacks, baby foods
etc., and also plays a major role in propagating food security among under
developed and developing countries.
