Millet Maize DDGS Ethanol Int- Millets are full of natural fibre, which helps your digestion stay on track without causing bloating or discomfort. India just scored a big win on the global food stage. At the 88th session of the Codex Executive Committee (CCEXEC88) held at FAO headquarters in Rome from July 14 to 18, the country's proposal to set global standards for whole millet grains got a resounding thumbs-up.
According to a PTI report, the project-led by India with Mali, Nigeria and Senegal as co-chairs-was reviewed for progress after being cleared last year.The groundwork for this initiative was laid back in April, during a cereals committee meet, where each country's role was officially defined. Now, as millet gains momentum worldwide, it is also making its way into everyday diets across Indian households.
