Mushrooms and millets both are healthy foods that complement each other very well. Millet-Mushroom integration is the idea that food influences our health in complex and highly interactive ways. Mushroom millet cookies can be developed by combining the nutritional and health benefits of both mushrooms and millet. Mushroom millet cookies were formulated by combining sorghum (jowar) flour and oyster mushroom powder in 80:20 ratios along with other ingredients such as; sugar, butter, milk powder, baking powder, ammonium bicarbonate, and essence. These cookies are rich in Vitamin D, proteins, fiber, and minerals. These are gluten-free products good for celiac patients, have slow-releasing carbohydrates, and are rich in antioxidants. These mushroom-fortified sorghum cookies contained 9.48% protein, 56.30% carbohydrate, 30.22% fat, 2.01% ash, 535 kcal energy, and 9.7mg Vitamin D/100g. The shelf life of these cookies was found 6 months at room temperature.
