Category Description:
Millet flours, either used as an alternative or as an addition to the whole wheat flour, can be incorporated in your regular diet regime. Good source of many nutrients and anti-oxidants, millet flour consumption is associated with many health related benefits.
The importance of millets was somehow overshadowed by the glitters of ‘Refined- grains’. However, the dramatic increase in various lifestyle diseases (Obesity, Diabetes, etc.) and growing concern for the worsening climate situation have resulted in the quest to find healthier and more input-savvy grain options than wheat and rice. This has brought attention back to the Millets, grown and consumed in several parts of the world. Due to the immense nutritional value & health benefits and fewer input requirements to cultivate them (when compared to wheat and rice), these ancient and smart foods are making a serious comeback.
The United Nations has also declared the Year 2023 as ‘the International year of Millets’.
