Exploration and sustainable utilization of agrobiodiversity is essential for the dietary diversification and sustainable agriculture. Especially, the utilization of neglected and underutilized crops offers huge promise in fulfilling the food and nutritional requirement of the resource-poor peoples in developing world as the traditional or local varieties have better climate tolerance and adaption potential than the modern crop varieties. Moreover, they are rich in essential nutrients and can be considered as promising crops for dietary diversification (Singh et al., 2018)
