A correction has been made to the section Pseudocereals in food security, paragraph 1. The year in “Alencar and de Carvalho Oliveira, 2023” should be “2019” instead. The text has been updated to read as follows:

“After processing, pseudocereals are used in baked goods, fermented drinks, and extruded snacks (Alencar and de Carvalho Oliveira, 2019; Graziano et al., 2022; Martínez-Villaluenga et al., 2020)”.

A correction has been made to section Pseudocereals as alternative crops, paragraph 1. Instead of: “The figure depicts that pseudocereals contribute only 14%, indicating their significant role as alternative crops in different food groups”, the line should read: “The figure depicts that pseudocereals contribute only 14 species, indicating their significant role as alternative crops in different food groups”.

There was a mistake in Figure 2 and its caption as published. The percentage symbol “%” should be removed from the pie chart numbers and the caption “Pseudocereals’ contribution in alternative food groups Source: Indian Food Composition Tables, NIN (Longvah, 2017)” should be changed with: “Pseudocereals’ contribution in alternative food groups. (Modified from Pradhan et al., 2021)”. The reference details for Pradhan et al., 2021 are: “Pradhan, A., Rane, J., & Pathak, H. (2021). Alternative crops for augmenting farmers’ income in abiotic stress regions. Technical Bulletin, (29), 26.”
