Product Description:
Introducing Kodo Millet, an ancient grain that was domesticated in India almost 3000 years ago. Grown across the old world in humid habitats of tropics and subtropics, Kodo Millet is a minor grain crop in India, but an important crop in the Deccan plateau. Its cultivation is generally confined to Gujarat, Karnataka, and parts of Tamil Nadu.
Kodo Millet is a gluten-free and vegan cereal and is grown mostly in an organic way. It is a farmer-friendly crop, known for its ability to sustain heavy drought and marginal soils. Kodo Millet is high in protein, fiber, essential minerals, and vitamins. The fiber content of the whole grain is particularly high and it has around 11% protein. The nutritional value of the protein is slightly better than that of foxtail millet but comparable to that of other small millet.
Health Benefits of Kodo Millet include its ability to hydrate the colon, helping to keep the system regular and prevent constipation. It is rich in phytochemicals, phytic acid, which may lower cholesterol, and phytate, which may help in the reduction of cancer risks. The grain also has high antioxidant properties, that help in controlling blood sugar levels and cholesterol. It's an excellent energy source, particularly good for athletes. When combined with legumes, it becomes a complete protein source, making it an ideal choice for vegetarians.
