Redesigning traditional grains: a functional approach to protein quality using Kodo millet and chickpeas
The study concluded that consumption of one serving of developed kudo millet chickpea-based products met 22-41% of the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for protein and 46.1-79.5% of the lysine requirements of school-going children (7-12 years). Hence, the developed Kodo millet-chickpea combination can be effectively used as a replacement for wheat/rice for preparing various food products with good-quality protein.
