Coarse grains generally refers to cereal grains other than wheat and rice — in the OECD countries, those used primarily for animal feed or brewing. Context: ... Maize (corn in the United States) is a coarse grain but is reported separately from all other coarse grains in the PSE/CSE tables.
In trade and industry terms, usually wheat, rice and maize (corn) are seperately identified, measured and traded but the rest of the grains like millets, jowar, bajra, sorghum etc are clubbed under coarse grains because they are not significant for particular statistics but are together required for general statistics
Population explosion and food demands are always going parallel. Traditionally, we consume varieties of coarse grains. The urban way of life cuts down the meaning of balanced diet by excluding the coarse grain combination in our daily meal plan. The utility pattern of coarse grain is modified in a way to meet out the calorie needs of our country. Though the coarse grain production has increased, it has not touched the level of other cereals. Even though it consists of valuable micro- and macronutrients, it has the secondary importance. The per capita consumption of coarse cereals in India declined from 44.6 kg per annum during 1951-55 to 38.5 kg during 1970-74. The recent National Nutrition Monitoring Bureau report indicates that average consumption of cereals and millets though tend to decrease, it was above (or) equal to recommended dietary allowance.
Maize, sorghum and other millets account for one fourth of the total food grain production in India and occupy an important place in the food grain economy of the country. In addition to the traditional cooking methods, coarse grain has been used mainly in the weaning food preparation and other malted food production. Sorghum is used in glucose and other beverage preparation. Ragi and wheat mixed vermicelli is available in the market as a form of instant food.
