<p>Globally, an increase in millet production has been seen in recent years. In various parts of the world, millets are used as both food and fodder for animals. Because of its climate, millet variety, and amount of area suitable for millet cultivation, India is the world’s largest producer of millet. The trend of utilizing millet is increasing, although millet is underutilized due to the higher acceptance of other grains, particularly wheat, despite its high nutritional value and accessibility. Recently there was a discernible rise in millet use in foods, processed foods, and value-added food forms. The millets are abundant in nutrients like fiber, protein, minerals, and nutraceuticals. Research initiatives generate extensive amounts of information on millet, cultivation, and production every year. Food with millet ingredients shows nutraceutical potential against various lifestyle diseases and is nutritionally rich in many vitamins and nutrients reducing hidden hunger. Sorghum (Jowar), Pearl Millet (Bajra), Finger Millet (Ragi), Small Millet (Little Millet, Barnyard Millet, Kodo Millet etc.), and Proso Millet are the top five millets produced in India in order of production. Millets, rich in fiber, minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants, are important in managing diabetes, improving heart health, and offering sustainable food sources in drought-prone areas. Their resilience to climate change makes them increasingly popular. As a result, millets play an important role in enhancing food security and strengthening India’s agricultural and nutritional future. As a result, this review offers a thorough analysis of millets grown in India and their documented role as health-promoting substances.</p>
