Mandia description in English
Finger millets are probably one of the oldest indigenous domesticated tropical cereals in Africa. It can thrive under harsh weather conditions and is a very productive plant. It can grow on low-fertility soil and can prosper without the use of fertilizers, making it an optimum plant for arid and semi-arid regions. Finger millet keeps the storage pests at bay for as long as 10 years, which means round-the-year food supply even during a crop failure. These are the reasons why finger millet is also known as famine crop.
Finger millets are rich in protein, vitamins, minerals, fiber, and energy and are a great food for pregnant women and children.
The Scientific Name of finger millet is Eleusine coracana
