    Cereals are considered a major staple food and are significant sources of protein, energy, vitamins, dietary fibers, minerals, and bioactive compounds. The processing of cereals is considered to be the most important part of the food production chain. Cereal processing involves cleaning, conditioning, milling, toasting, cooking, etc. These pre-processing treatments modify the functional (water absorption capacity, viscosity), nutritional (chemical composition), and antioxidant properties that could inhibit the anti-nutritional factors and improve the nutrient availability and digestibility. Also, these processing operations improve sensory attributes and impart special properties. Over the years, the importance of milling on human health is being well understood. On a broader outlook, the influence of different methods of milling techniques has its pros and cons. This chapter discusses the impact of milling on the nutritional, functional, and biological properties of common cereal grains.
