Pigmented grains, including colored rice, wheat, barley and maize, have garnered increasing interest in recent years due to their unique bioactive compounds, enhanced nutritional profiles, and potential for value addition. These grains possess vibrant hues ranging from black, red and purple to deep yellow, reflecting the presence of phytochemicals such as anthocyanins, carotenoids, flavonoids and phenolic acids. These bioactive compounds not only impart color but also offer a range of health benefits, positioning pigmented grains as functional foods with significant promise in human nutrition. Pigmented grains stand at the intersection of nutrition, health and economic opportunity. Their rich bioactive compound profiles and enhanced nutritional value make them more than mere dietary staples; they represent a dynamic category of functional foods with the potential to improve health outcomes. Coupled with strategic value addition and sustainable agricultural practices, pigmented grains can contribute significantly to the future of food systems, offering a colorful and nutrient-rich solution to global health challenges.
