Finger millet is a rich source of phenolic compounds, particularly in its seed coat, contributing to its high antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. Processing methods such as fermentation, cooking, and malting can enhance the phenolic content and bioavailability. The phenolic profile of finger millet includes a variety of compounds with significant health benefits, including antioxidant, antimicrobial, and antidiabetic properties. The variability among different finger millet varieties suggests potential for selecting and optimizing specific types for enhanced health benefits.
