Amid rising consumer awareness around gut health, climate-smart agriculture, and food security, ancient grains like millet and sorghum have gained considerable traction in food and beverage innovation, nutraceutical applications, and sustainable farming policies. The new report provides strategic insights into evolving consumer patterns, processing technologies, product formats, and regional demand dynamics.

Nutritional Renaissance Fuels Demand for Ancient Grains

These grains offer high levels of fiber, protein, essential micronutrients, and antioxidants, making them ideal for modern health-conscious consumers. Their gluten-free, non-GMO attributes, coupled with drought resistance and low carbon footprint, make them a perfect match for the growing clean-label, regenerative agriculture, and climate-friendly food trends.

"The revival of millet and sorghum reflects a global shift toward nutrition-packed, culturally-rooted grains that offer sustainability, versatility, and functional health benefits,"
