Millets were once the backbone of Indian agriculture - hardy, drought-resistant supergrains that thrived in our diverse climates. But when the British East India Company pushed for cash crops and wheat cultivation, these ancient superfoods nearly vanished from our plates. Now, as climate change threatens food security, these forgotten grains are making a powerful comeback. Join me as we explore the fascinating science of millets - from their incredible nutritional profile to their low water footprint - and discover how colonial policies reshaped India's agricultural landscape. This isn't just about food - it's a story of resilience, sustainability, and reclaiming our forgotten food heritage. 🌾 #Millets #FoodHistory #IndianAgriculture #sustainability
