gluten-free cereal grain widely cultivated in the semi-arid tropics and subtropics of Africa and Asia.\u00a0It&#039;s a staple food in many regions, valued for its nutritional richness, particularly its high calcium and iron content, and its ability to thrive in diverse and challenging environments.\u00a0           Botanical Description:        Finger millet (Eleusine coracana) is an annual grass with slender, erect, and sometimes branching stems.\u00a0              The plant is tufted and can grow up to 170 cm tall.\u00a0             Its root system is fibrous and shallow, making it difficult to pull out of the ground.\u00a0             The leaves are typically green, up to 75 cm long and 2 cm broad.\u00a0             The inflorescence is a panicle with 4-19 finger-like spikes, giving it the name &quot;finger millet&quot;.\u00a0             The spikes contain 4 to 7 small seeds each.\u00a0             Seeds are small, round, and hard, varying in color from light brown to dark brown or purple.\u00a0             Nutritional Value:        Finger millet is a good source of protein, carbohydrates, fiber, and minerals.\u00a0             It&#039;s particularly rich in calcium, iron, and methionine, an essential amino acid.\u00a0             It is also a good source of other essential amino acids, riboflavin, nicotinic acid, and thiamine.\u00a0             Finger millet is gluten-free.\u00a0              Cultivation and Uses:        It&#039;s grown in diverse environments, from near sea level to high altitudes (up to 2400 m).\u00a0             It can tolerate low-fertility soils and is drought-resistant.\u00a0             Finger millet is used as a staple food in many parts of India and Africa.\u00a0             It&#039;s also used as animal feed, particularly as hay and green forage.\u00a0             The straw from grain harvest is also valuable for animal feed.\u00a0             Finger millet is known for its excellent storage capabilities, resisting storage pests and molds.\u00a0\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/ziongrainslife.com\/index.php\/product\/product-image-2\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\"
