Despite their potential as a solution to pressing challenges in food security, climate adaptation, and malnutrition, millets remain underutilized, largely due to significant postharvest challenges. These include inefficient processing technologies, high postharvest losses, limited storage infrastructure, and short shelf life. Addressing these issues is essential to unlock the full potential of millets in sustainable food systems. This review highlights the major challenges in millet postharvest management, emphasizing the need for innovative and sustainable solutions. Emerging technologies such as hermetic storage, smart packaging, and digital tools are transforming millet value chains, enhancing their quality and marketability. Sustainable practices, including renewable energy-based processing, biodegradable packaging, and circular economy models, are further advancing environmental and economic sustainability. Additionally, case studies illustrate the practical applications of these approaches in various contexts, showcasing their scalability and impact. The review also identifies key research gaps and future directions, including the need for multidisciplinary approaches to enhance millet postharvest technologies, and improve value chain efficiency. By addressing these challenges holistically, millets can play a critical role in achieving global food security." * Keywords: Food security; Nutritional grains; Nanotechnology; Climate resilience; Hermetic storage * Millets covered: "pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum), finger millet (Eleusine coracana), sorghum (Sorghum bicolor), foxtail millet (Setaria italica), and proso millet (Panicum miliaceum), little millet (Panicum sumatrense), and barnyard millet (Echinochloa spp.)" * Comment: Article addresses a key issue in developing markets for millets.

"Millets: Journey from an Ancient Crop to Sustainable and Healthy Food." Foods. 2025 May 13;14(10):1733. doi: 10.3390/foods14101733. PMID: 40428513; PMCID: PMC12111017. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12111017/ * Abstract: "Millets, often known as 'nutri-cereals', have garnered renewed global interest due to their numerous health benefits, rich nutritional composition, resilience to extreme climatic conditions, and minimal environmental footprint. The advent of rice and wheat as staple foods in the 1960s led to drastic decline in millet cultivation worldwide. Recognizing the importance of millet, the United Nations (UN) declared 2023 as the International Year of Millets in an effort to accomplish Sustainable Development Goal 2 (SDG-2), i.e., zero hunger, by increasing millet production and fostering research and development to improve the integration of these grains into mainstream food systems. In recent years, global production of millets has surged, with India leading as the top producer. Millets are nutritionally advantageous, consisting of carbohydrates, antioxidants, and biologically active compounds such as flavonoids, carotenoids, phenolic acids, minerals, and vitamins. Incorporating millets into a balanced diet can help control and prevent diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, inflammation, and malnutrition due to their enriched vital nutrients, low glycemic index, and gluten-free nature. This indicates a transition of millets from an 'orphan crop' to being used as ingredients for products (with or without fermentation) that are nutrient-rich, climate-resilient, sustainable, and health-promoting." * Keywords: millets, sustainable food, gluten-free, health, nutrient-rich, climate-resilient * Millets covered: finger, pearl, sorghum, little, foxtail, proso, kodo, barnyard (Japanese & Indian), and browntop; attention also given to two so-called "pseudo-millets," amaranth & buckwheat * Comments: Brings together useful information on millets. Unfortunately shifts sometimes from plural into the singular (e.g., "Millet, one of the earliest cultivated domestic crops ..." rather than "Millets, among the earliest cultivated domestic crops ...").
