About Samai arisi
Samai Arisi, also known as Little Millet, is a small-grained cereal native to India, widely consumed in South Indian cuisine. It is part of the millet family and serves as a nutritious alternative to rice or wheat. Rich in fiber, iron, calcium, and antioxidants, Samai Arisi supports digestive health, improves heart function, and helps in maintaining bone strength. It has a low glycemic index, making it particularly beneficial for weight management and for individuals with diabetes. Gluten-free by nature, it suits those with gluten sensitivities. Traditionally, it is used for preparing dishes such as porridges, upma, idlis, and dosa. While highly nutritious, it is important to consume millets in moderation and pair them with a balanced diet to avoid excess intake of certain compounds like phytates, which may hinder nutrient absorption. Samai Arisi is a time-honored grain that promotes sustainable eating and holistic well-being.
