Samai or Little millet is another reliable catch crop in view of its earliness and resistance to adverse agro-climatic conditions of high drought as well as water logging. It is grown throughout India and is a traditional crop of Karnataka. It has received comparatively little attention from plant breeders. The plant varies in height between 30 and 90 cm and its oblong panicle varies in length between 14 and 40 cm. It is mostly mixed cropped with other millets, pulses, and oil seeds. The seeds of little millet are smaller than those of common millet. It is generally consumed as rice and any recipe that demands staple rice can be prepared using little millet.
Millets are a natural source of protein and iron. Millet is very easy to digest; it contains a high amount of lecithin and is excellent for strengthening the nervous system. Millets are rich in B vitamins, especially niacin, B6, and folic acid, as well as the minerals calcium, iron, potassium, magnesium, and zinc. Millets contain no gluten.So they are not suitable for raised bread, but they are good for people who are gluten-intolerant.
