India has been known for its rich culture, heritage, and tradition since ancient times, but there is one thing that is almost absent from the mainstream history books – Indian sweets. These sweets are an integral part of life in India and among the various Indian diaspora communities worldwide. <\/span><\/p>

However, millets \u2014 a family of small-seeded grasses widely cultivated in Asia and Africa for thousands of years \u2014 were also essential staples for Indians. Millets formed a necessary part of ancient Indian diets and even today play an important role in specific regional cuisines.<\/span><\/p>

Indians have long relied on a staple grain called rice and various types of lentils. Rice is easy to grow and very nutritious; according to historians, it was an early form of rice (along with barley) that propelled mankind out of its hunter-gatherer roots and into an agricultural era.<\/span><\/p>

Ancient India was a land known for its spices, rich culture and vast diversity. Everything was used to appease one\u2019s taste buds, from salty to sweet. While looking at history, it\u2019s not surprising that jaggery has been an integral part of India for ages.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
