Millets, nuts and seeds are excellent sources of soluble fiber, digestible protein, essential minerals, mono and polyunsaturated fatty acids and vitamins. These nutrients offer numerous health benefits including antioxidant properties, hypocholesterolemic effect, anti-inflammatory effect and cardiovascular protection. Due to these advantages, these are increasingly incorporated into people's regular diets. Laddoo a popular Indian sweet snack, used as the basis for a nutrient-dense variation in this study, made with finger millet, flaxseed, peanut, sesame seed, coconut, jaggery, ghee and skimmed milk powder. The prepared laddoo was a rich source of protein, calcium, iron, carbohydrate and healthy fats, particularly mono and polyunsaturated fatty acids, with negligible cholesterol and transfat content. Hundred grams of the optimized product meets 22% of recommended dietary allowance for protein, 32% of calcium and 23-29% of iron intake for both males and females. Thus, it can be used as a highly nutritious and balanced dietary option for all age group.
