About Kurakkan cereal
Kurakkan cereal, made from finger millet (Eleusine coracana), is a nutritious and versatile food staple originating from South Asia and East Africa, particularly valued in Sri Lankan and Indian cuisines. Packed with essential nutrients, kurakkan is naturally gluten-free, making it an excellent choice for those with gluten sensitivities. It is rich in dietary fiber, making it beneficial for digestion and promoting sustained energy release. High levels of calcium and iron support bone health and combat anemia, while its low glycemic index makes it diabetic-friendly by helping regulate blood sugar levels. The cereal is also a good source of antioxidants and amino acids, contributing to overall health. Traditionally consumed in porridges, breads, or other baked dishes, it’s a wholesome and earthy addition to any diet. However, its high carbohydrate content means portion control is essential for those managing calorie or carbohydrate intake.
