Poaceae. Barnyard millets are high in fibre content, phosporous and calcium. The
protein content in barnyard millet ranged from 11.1% to 13.9%. Barnyard millet grain
contains about 65% carbohydrate, majority of which is in the form of non-starchy
polysaccharide and dietary fibre. Barnyard has non-glutinous type of endosperm. The
tannin content is at lowest level in barnyard millet (102.96 mg). Barnyard millet is
highly suitable for commercial foodsfordiabetics, infants and pregnant women because
of high iron content 38.5 to 42 ppm. Bardyard has low glycemic index and thus helps
