Author(s): Dr. TV Hymavathi, TP Pradeepa Roberts, E Jyothsna and V Theja Sri

Abstract: Millets are underutilized and neglected crop because of less knowledge about its utilization and problems encountered while handling such as lower cooking quality, taste and low bioavailability. These issues can be resolved and make them valuable as food by relocating them into ready to use form. The present study aimed at proximate composition and mineral content of ready to use minor millets. The protein content of processed /dehulled minor millets ranged from 9.21g to 15.72g per 100g. Protein content of four dehulled minor millets were comparatively higher than rice. Barnyard millet recorded highest carbohydrate content whereas highest fat, protein, ash and crude fibre content was in proso millet (15.72g).
