Pearl millet is gaining importance as a climate-resilient and health-promoting nutritious crop. Pearl millet is the most important millet species, accounting for approximately half the total worldwide production of millets. It is mainly cultivated in India and Africa and is uniquely tolerant of hot and dry conditions. The grain of pearl millet generally has higher fat and hence higher energy, higher protein content, and better quality protein than most other cereal grains. It has been almost exclusively a subsistence crop but today is becoming widely used in commercial small-scale food manufacture
