Editing Finger millet (section)

=== Milling ===
As a first step of processing finger millet can be milled to produce [[flour]]. However, finger millet is difficult to mill due to the small size of the seeds and because the [[bran]] is bound very tightly to the [[endosperm]]. Furthermore, the delicate seed can get crushed during the milling. The development of commercial mechanical milling systems for finger millet is challenging. Therefore, the main product of finger millet is [[Whole Grain|whole grain]] flour. This has disadvantages, such as reduced storage time of the flour due to the high oil content. Furthermore, the industrial use of whole grain finger millet flour is limited. Moistening the millet seeds prior to grinding helps to remove the bran mechanically without causing damage to the rest of the seed. The mini millet mill can also be used to process other grains such as [[wheat]] and [[sorghum]].{{Citation needed|date=September 2021}}
