Foxtail millet is one of the earliest cultivated crops, extensively grown in the arid and semi-arid regions of Asia and Africa, it is one of the staple food. Foxtail millet is rich in dietary fiber, protein and low in fat when compared with rice, foxtail millet releases glucose slowly without affecting the metabolism of the body. Foxtail millet contains significant levels of protein, fiber, mineral, and phytochemicals. Anti-nutrients such as phytic acid and tannin present in this millet can be reduced to negligible levels by using suitable processing methods. The millet is also possessed hypolipidemic, low-glycemic index, and antioxidant characteristics. It is, however, receiving increased research and commercial attention, especially because its cultivation is not to demanding from point of view of agricultural inputs and it can grow in difficult terrains. It would be reasonable to surmise that foxtail millet has a promising role to play in enhancing nutritional and food security.
