Pearl Millet Flour (Bajra 2kg ((70.54 OZ))

Product Information

Traditionally the mahangu is pounded with heavy pieces of wood in a 'pounding area'. The floor of the pounding area is covered with a concrete-like coating made from the material of termite mounds. As a result, some sand and grit gets into the pounded mahangu, so products like oshifima are usually swallowed without chewing. [15] [ failed verification] After pounding, winnowing may be used to remove the chaff. That said, some of the research that supports these claims did not use bajra specifically, and the use of both GI and GL in diabetes management is controversial. Therefore, more research is needed to understand exactly how millet affects blood sugar levels ( 19). Contains nutrients that may support healthy hair, skin, and nails Carefully lift the roti and place it on a preheated pan with the flour side up. Lightly spread (or brush) one to two tablespoons of water on top of the roti keeping the pan on medium-high heat. The moisture on the roti will start to dry up in one to two minutes.

Bajri flour is best used within 2 weeks, to keep it fresh longer refrigerate or freeze the flour in an air-tight container. Millet is a whole grain. It’s considered a “ good” carb, so it’s easily digestible. And since it’s also gluten-free, it’s a great alternative for people living with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. Additionally, millet has a high nutritional value. Nutritional content

If you are pregnant, Pearl Millet is your must-have cereal, thanks to its rich presence of Vitamin B9 also known as folic acid. Folate is a crucial for forming DNA and RNA and is key for producing red blood cells, a major factor that can define the growth rate of the foetus in the pregnancy. Strengthens Bones:

Based on my observations, including Bajra in your diet might be a natural way to support gallbladder health and reduce the chances of gallstone formation. When our intestines produce too much bile, it may worsen the condition of gallstones. The insoluble fibre found in pearl millet might help reduce the production of excess bile in our digestive system. It is high in fibre, which may also help reduce the risk of developing gallstones.

It helps the nerves and muscles to communicate with each other, supports cell exchange and assists with the normal functioning of the heart. 5 Pearl millet In my opinion, adding Bajra to your diet can be a smart and tasty choice! It might be great for people with high cholesterol. It contains a special compound called phytic acid that may help regulate cholesterol metabolism and keep it balanced in the body.

Gluten Free – It’s a great alternative to wheat flour for people with celiac disease, gluten intolerance, or anyone following a gluten-free diet.

Agric Res 1:399–404 However, the presence of beneficial polyphenols may also inhibit some of the minerals in bajra, such as iron and zinc, from being fully absorbed by your body ( 6, 7). SUMMARY You can combine your favourite millet recipe with protein-rich dishes containing lentils, cottage cheese, soya chunks, and some fresh fruits, and a vegetable smoothie or salsa to make a perfect platter of the recommended balanced diet. Indian Council of Agricultural Research started pearl millet breeding in India in the 1940s, and X1 and X2 were the two chance hybrids released in India for commercial utilization in the fifties ( Yadav and Rai, 2013). Pearl millet improvement programs were implemented in several phases. During phase I, breeders mainly focused on the flowering habit, mode of pollination, germplasm evaluation and enhancement, genetics and cytogenetics of agronomically important traits, cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) etc. Thus, initially, efforts were put forward towards the identification and use of dwarfing genes for enhancing the yield using locally adapted materials and various Open Pollinated Varieties (OPVs) were developed. As a result of this, pearl millet hybrid research has gained importance in India and the productivity was 4.5 kg/ha/year during this phase ( Yadav et al., 2019). By the 1960s, hybrid development became the major objective of breeding for enhancing pearl millet production and productivity. Hybrid “HB-1” (Hybrid Bajra-1) was the first pearl millet hybrid released in 1965 ( Athwal, 1965) followed by a series of hybrids between 1965 and 1988 and during phase II, an annual increase of 6.6 kg/ha was achieved in productivity.Singh P, Boote KJ, Kadiyala MDM, Nedumaran S, Gupta SK, Srinivas K, Bantilan MCS (2017) An assessment of yield gains under climate change due to genetic modification of pearl millet.
