Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Why are Millets considered Coarse Grains? The surface of the millet is rough. They are hence referred to as coarse grains. They are not fine grains like wheat and rice.
Detailed explanation-2: -The major coarse crops grown in India are Jowar, bajra, and ragi. Although they have been termed as coarse grains, they possess a very high amount of nutritious content. For example, ragi is very rich in iron, calcium, other nutrients and roughage.
