Barnyard millet ( Echinochloa frumentacea) is a small-seeded, hardy cereal crop primarily grown in India, China, Japan, and Southeast Asia. It is known for its resilience in poor soil conditions and ability to grow with minimal water, making it ideal for drought-prone regions. The grains are small, round, and pale yellow to greyish in color.
