About Little millet

Little Millet, scientifically known as Panicum sumatrense, is a nutrient-rich cereal grain native to South Asia, commonly used in Indian cuisine. This small, gluten-free millet is a powerhouse of nutrients, including dietary fiber, protein, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, and essential B-vitamins. Low in calories and high in complex carbohydrates, it promotes sustained energy release, making it an excellent choice for managing diabetes and supporting heart health. Its rich fiber content aids digestion and helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels. Little Millet is versatile and can be cooked as porridge, included in salads, or used as a rice alternative in dishes like pulao and khichdi. Noted for its environmental resilience, it’s grown in arid conditions, further elevating its sustainability. While Little Millet is generally regarded as healthy, portion control is advised for individuals monitoring carbohydrate intake. Overall, it’s a wholesome, nourishing ingredient with wide-ranging culinary and health benefits.
