这篇报道关于世界领袖在G20峰会晚宴上享用谦逊的小米引人注目。印度以小米制作的各种美食招待了包括美国总统乔·拜登、英国首相里希·苏纳克和日本首相岸田文雄在内的各国领袖。这三道素食菜肴庆祝了“丰收的秋季”，其中包括不同种类的小米。 主菜是用菠萝蜜酥皮搭配光泽的森林蘑菇、小米脆片和喀拉拉红米炒咖喱叶的。此外，还供应了巴卡尔克哈尼（一种厚厚的甜平面面包，通常在莫卧儿菜肴中食用）和孟买著名的“Pao”或软面包。来自印度北部的克什米尔卡瓦、南印度著名的滤泡咖啡和大吉岭茶也供应。 小米因为被印度总理纳伦德拉·莫迪和联合国粮食及农业组织将2023年命名为小米国际年而成为取而代之的健康食品。今年早些时候，这种多功能、环保的超级食品谷物在白宫为印度总理纳伦德拉·莫迪举行的国宴上备受瞩目。 此前，G20国家通过了一项共识宣言，避免谴责俄罗斯在乌克兰的战争，但呼吁所有国家不要使用武力夺取领土。小米也在他们的声明中得到了提及，鼓励加强对小米、藜麦、高粱等耐旱和有营养的谷物的研究合作。 这篇报道突出了小米作为一种健康替代品的崛起，以及其在国际舞台上的角色。小米的普及不仅是印度的骄傲，也是对全球食品多样性和可持续性的一个积极迈向。
India served millet, a staple for millions of Indians, to world leaders at a gala dinner at the end of the first day of the G20 Leaders Summit in New Delhi on Saturday.
From leaf crisps to pudding, the foodstuff was served at the high table occupied by leaders including U.S. President Joe Biden, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Japan's Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.
The dinner hosted by Indian President Droupadi Murmu involved three courses of vegetarian food that celebrated an "autumn season of abundance", with different kinds of millet.
The main course was a jackfruit pastry served with glazed forest mushrooms, millet crisps and curry leaf tossed Kerala red rice. Bakarkhani, a thick sweet flat bread generally served in Mughlai cuisine, and Mumbai's famous "Pao" or soft buns were dished out alongside.
Kashmiri kahwa from the northern region, south India's famous filter coffee and Darjeeling tea were also served.
Millet has come into fashion as a healthy alternative to wheat or rice after Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization named 2023 as the International Year of millets.
Earlier this year, the versatile and climate friendly superfood grain featured at the White House state dinner for Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Earlier the G20 states adopted a consensus declaration that avoided condemning Russia for the war in Ukraine but called on all states not to use force to grab territory.
Millet also found mention in their declaration.
"We encourage efforts to strengthen research cooperation on climate-resilient and nutritious grains such as millets, quinoa, sorghum, and other traditional crops including rice, wheat and maize," the statement said.
