REVIVING HEALTHY & NUTRITIOUS FOOD CULTURE
Taking the 7000 plus years old millet farming legacy forward, Millet Bank is an initiative of a team of farmers’ children from dryland agriculture background to revive millet food cultures & nutritional diversity.
Inspired by the giant size traditional storage systems in ancient times that represented food security, crop diversity, dietary diversity and food sustainability, Millet Bank has a strong mission to preserve millet food culture by reviving the ancient wisdom of millet foods.
We want to spread the benefits of millet food to as many consumers as possible. We are passionate about millets and as our name suggests, we believe that Millet is a golden treasure still hidden in the Indian soil!! It is time to better inscribe this tradition in our lives, if not against the passage of time, at least within ourselves.
