About this item

Parampara Organic ® - Pearl Millet is one of the oldest cultivated crops since pre-historic times and ranks as the sixth most important grain in the world. It is a cereal crop grown at a very large scale in India. Pearl Millet, commonly known as bajra is a profoundly nutritious and easy to digest cereal grain. Being non-glutinous makes it a healthy option for people with a gluten allergy and celiac disease. They are power-packed with carbohydrates, essential amino acids, antioxidants, multiple vitamins like thiamine, riboflavin, folic acid, niacin, beta carotene, and minerals like iron, phosphorus, magnesium, and zinc.

Not so long ago, when rice was still reigning the power as a superhero among foods – there were another bunch of food items that made a quite comeback into our kitchens. Millets, as they are collectively known were in fact, nothing new for us Indians but these tiny grains which went missing for over 4 decades from our kitchen shelves, not only made a grand entrance, but also reclaimed and cemented a spot – all thanks to mindful eaters and nutritionists with a conservative approach towards food.

Ayurveda describes Bajra as sweet to taste which turns pungent after digestion, dry and hot in nature. Traditional doctors prescribe including Bajra in daily diet for balancing pitta, kapha doshas. The hot potency or virya nature of this cereal grain is praised for numerous health benefits.
