Dear friends,
Now i would like to discuss the importance of our water and rain source resources with our food. The need of this discusstion at this point of time is to think of our agriculture system and the crops we are getting as food. Nowadays rice and wheat contains the major of our food culture. At this point we have to compare how much water is consumed for producing 1kg of rice/ wheat VS 1kg of small millets, you will be surprised , millets required only one third of water it consumes than rice/wheat. In future we have to practice to have the food which require less water conservation not only farmers side but also for our health.
Many small millets have about 50 times more fiber content that rice/wheat and RAGI millets have 30 time more calcium content that rice/wheat. The iron content in rice is negligable when we compare with THINAI AND SAAMAI. Now a days all are searching for tonics, capsules and many more doctors for vitamin tablets and immunity boosters. Instead of this if we practice to take small millets in our food twice in a week, we dont want to stand in doctorshop..
