Not much, just 50 years ago, our food culture was completely different. We were people eating Coarse Grains. Coarse grains / Millets means- jowar, bajra, ragi (madua), savannah, kodon and similar coarse grains. During the Green Revolution of the 60s, we decorated our plates with wheat and rice and kept the coarse grains away from ourselves. We turned our backs on the grain which we were eating for six and a half thousand years and today the whole world is returning to the same coarse grain.
Recently, in a program of the Ministry of AYUSH, Prime Minister Modi also emphasized on encouraging farmers for the cultivation of coarse grains. PM Modi said, ‘Today we see that the world has started adopting the food which we have given up. Barley, jowar, ragi, kodo, sama, bajra, sawa, many such grains were once part of our diet. But they disappeared from our plates. Now this nutritious food is in demand all over the world.
After this statement of PM Modi, once again the discussion of coarse grains has started in the country.
What is coarse grain?
India had a tradition of cultivation of coarse cereals till the early 60s. It is said that our ancestors have been producing coarse grains for thousands of years. In the Indian Hindu tradition, there is a mention of coarse grains in the Yajurveda. Till 50 years ago, there was a lot of production of coarse cereals in the hilly areas along with Central and South India. According to an estimate, the share of coarse cereals in the total food grain production in the country was 40 percent.
The coarse cereals include cereals such as jowar, bajra, ragi (madua), barley, kodo, sama, bajra, savanna, small grains or kutki, kangni and chena.
