Little millet, scientifically known as Panicum sumatrense, is a small-grained cereal crop that has been cultivated for centuries, particularly in India and other parts of Asia. It is a hardy and drought-resistant crop, making it an ideal choice for cultivation in semi-arid and rain-fed regions. Known as "Kutki" in Hindi, it is one of the smallest millets in size but packed with significant nutritional benefits.
