First it is good that finally millets get some recognition and value. In our area we have been growing since many years but people finally understand nutrition importance of this. But to get all this information in one book was very happy to read all of this. Very easy to refer and most important parts are well covered.
Surprising part is quality of book is superb. Absolutely loved it.

Got this link as WhatsApp forward on some health group. Seeing cost I felt whether this is another one of those books which will come and go as fad. But because of interest in all such grains and nutrition background I thought of giving it a try. But for sure on receiving can confirm quality is worth it. Cover is good and printing is super. has some colour pages too and feels worth it. knowledge is the most important part and that is where the book is full of it. some more recepies would be nice and also how and where to get these millets is also a bit of a challenge.
