Abstract

Pseudo-cereals are a powerhouse of nutrients. There is a need to explore them further   and bring them in our daily diet. Even though pseudo-cereals seem more superior than   cereals in context of their chemical composition, the anti-nutrients present in them  reduces the bioavailability of the nutritional components. As nutritional deficiency is  becoming more prevalent among the human population throughout the globe, food  producers are expected to develop novel strategies for their improved processing. The  present study aims to assess the awareness of pseudo-cereals among food and nutrition  students of Indore, with a focus on understanding their knowledge, perceptions, and  potential gaps in awareness regarding these grains. The study included 200 subjects with age range (18-30) years, of colleges of Food and Nutrition of Indore (Madhya  Pradesh). The assessment on  wareness of pseudo-cereals among food and nutrition  students was done based on their knowledge, perceptions, and potential gaps in  awareness regarding these grains. The data was calculated by advance excel 2007 and  statistical packaged tool. Results shows that there was statistically non-significant  (p>0.05) difference between in the respondents on awareness and identification of
pseudo-cereals
