ORGANIC BARNYARD MILET ( JHANGORA ) 500gms

Jhangora or Barnyard Millet is very similar to the popular superfood Quinoa. In Uttarakhand it is grown at an altitude of 400-2100 m above sea level and is a good source of highly digestible protein and at the same time is least calorie dense compared to all other cereals. It is also an ideal food for diabetics due its low glycemic index. Jhangora is one of the oldest food known to mankind and is considered to be the least allergenic & most digestible grains available.

The roles of minerals and phosphorus are extremely important for the body; minerals are part of the body structural component while also acting as a catalyst in many body reactions. As far as phosphorus is concerned, it is an important element of our bodily requirement since it combines with calcium as calcium phosphate to be available to bones and teeth. It also plays an important role in cellular metabolism. So, if we look at the nutritional inputs of this local super food, we notice that it can provide us not only a high fibre food but also the subtler elements of our dietary requirements.

As far as its appearance is concerned, the de-husked grains are light brown in colour, with each grain being somewhat oval in shape, in fact very similar to its now glamorous cousin quinoa.
