Introducing
Kodo Millet, an ancient grain that was domesticated in India almost 3000
years ago. Grown across the old world in humid habitats of tropics and
subtropics, Kodo Millet is a minor grain crop in India, but an important crop
in the Deccan plateau. Its cultivation is generally confined to Gujarat,
Karnataka and parts of Tamil Nadu.

Kodo Millet is a gluten-free and vegan cereal and is grown mostly in an
organic way. It is a farmer-friendly crop, known for its ability to sustain
heavy drought and marginal soils. Kodo Millet is high in protein, fibre, and
essential minerals and vitamins. The fibre content of the whole grain is
particularly high and it has around 11% protein. The nutritional value of the
protein has been found to be slightly better than that of foxtail millet but
comparable to that of other small millets.

Health Benefits of Kodo Millet include its ability to hydrate the colon,
helping to keep the system regular and prevent constipation. It is rich in photochemical,
phytic acid, which may lower cholesterol, and phytate, which may help in the
reduction of cancer risks. The grain also has high antioxidant properties,
that help in controlling blood sugar levels and cholesterol. It’s an
excellent energy source, particularly good for athletes. When combined with
legumes, it becomes a complete protein source, making it an ideal choice for
vegetarians.
