About Banyard millet
Barnyard millet, native to Asia and widely cultivated in India, is a nutrient-dense and gluten-free ancient grain. Known for its small, round seeds, it has been a staple in traditional cuisines, often used in porridge, flatbreads, and pilafs. Rich in protein, dietary fiber, and essential minerals like iron, calcium, and magnesium, it supports digestion, boosts energy, and promotes bone health. Its low glycemic index makes it an ideal choice for diabetics and those managing weight. Barnyard millet is naturally low in fats and free from cholesterol, making it heart-healthy. However, consuming it in moderation is advised as it contains certain anti-nutrients, like phytates, which may interfere with mineral absorption if not properly processed or cooked. Simple to prepare and versatile, barnyard millet is gaining popularity in modern diets for its health benefits and adaptability in both savory and sweet dishes.
