RESUMEN
Finger millet is an important crop in Maharashtra, Orissa, and Tamil Nadu. Millet production and consumption have been on the decline for some years. Finger millet samples were gathered from regional locations in Nashik and Kolhapur, Maharashtra. These were also taken as samples for chemical composition and proximate analysis. Standard analytical procedures were used to determine the results. The result of the chemical composition, Nashik (sample one) was found to be Ca mg (6.19), Mg (0.52), Fe (1.09), Zn (1.74± 0.96), Cu (0.10), P (8.90) These findings suggest that finger millet is a good source of calcium and phosphorus. These can be utilised as calcium supplement foods, and their composite flours can be used to preserve a variety of nutrient-dense recipes that can be employed as part of a supplement feeding regimen.
