Abstract

Millets, known for their nutritional benefits and adaptability, are integral to the diets of various cultures across Asia, Africa and beyond. However, the preparation, flavouring and serving methods of millet vary greatly depending on regional tastes, available ingredients and cultural preferences. By examining the role of millet in different ethnic cuisines, it is possible to identify regional differences in millet intake and its function in traditional cuisines. This diversity in millet-based dishes underscores food's role as a key marker of identity and tradition, while also emphasizing the grain's potential for promoting sustainable and nutritious diets worldwide. Interestingly, because of their historical and cultural connections, several ethnic groups have a strong affinity for millet varieties. This study explores the diverse ways in which different ethnic groups utilize millet, a versatile and ancient grain, to create distinct culinary traditions and flavours.
