Description

Little Millet, also known as **Panicum sumatrense**, is a small, gluten-free grain rich in fiber, protein, and essential minerals like iron, calcium, and zinc. It has a low glycemic index, making it suitable for managing blood sugar levels and supporting heart health. Little millet is easy to digest, aids in weight management, and boosts immunity. Its versatility allows it to be used in a variety of dishes, such as porridge, upma, salads, and as a healthier alternative to rice, making it a great addition to a balanced diet.

Little millet shares quite an illustrious history with Indian cuisine. The grains have been cultivated in the country for centuries and are traditionally grown as a catch crop in particularly hilly regions of central India. Ours is sourced from Madhya Pradesh and adds a mellow crunch to this dish where we have used some widely available Indian Pennywort (thankuni) and Eucalyptus honey.

about the grain

The drought-resistant crop can be easily cultivated in any type of soil which makes it appropriate for areas affected by climate change. Besides, it is a fair source of protein, fat and carbohydrates. It has also been found to be nutritionally superior to other regular varieties of cereals.
