Kodo Millet (Arikelu) is an ancient grain cultivated for centuries in India, known for its exceptional nutritional profile and medicinal properties. Unlike polished rice, which loses its nutrients during processing, our organic Kodo Millet retains all the essential vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber. It is naturally gluten-free, making it an excellent alternative for those with gluten intolerance or celiac disease.
Rich in complex carbohydrates, Kodo Millet provides sustained energy throughout the day, keeping you full for longer and reducing unhealthy cravings. The high fiber content aids digestion, prevents constipation, and promotes a healthy gut microbiome. This millet is also loaded with antioxidants that combat free radicals, slowing down aging and improving overall health.
Regular consumption of Kodo Millet helps in reducing bad cholesterol levels, maintaining blood pressure, and promoting cardiovascular health. It is an excellent choice for individuals managing diabetes, as its low glycemic index ensures a steady release of glucose into the bloodstream. Additionally, the presence of essential minerals like iron, calcium, and magnesium strengthens bones, prevents anemia, and supports muscle function.
