Millets are wonder grains
Millets are a group of highly variable small-seeded grasses, widely grown around the world as cereal crops or grains for both human food and fodder. Its not just a type of bird seed.It can be consumed by humans in the form of pilafs, snacks and cookies too. It has a sweet nutty flavor. Millets are widely grown in India, Africa and northern china.
- It is gluten free & rich in calcium, fiber,protein and minerals.
- It has high nutritional values when compared with rice and wheat.
- Millets are called as miracle grains or wonder grains.
Millet Nutrition even stronger than that of Fruits and Vegetables
We aren’t pitting one food group against the other but this is what research has to say.
Scientists from Cornell University have found that millets are not any lesser than fruits or vegetables in their antioxidant activity. According to their research, most of the studies have explored the ‘free’ forms of antioxidants seen amply in fruits and vegetables. But the difference is that these antioxidants in millets are in the bound form which needs to be released on fermentation by bacteria.
Thus the health benefits of millets are at par with fruits and vegetables.
Some Tasty Millet Recipes
Now that you have known the multiple benefits of including millets in the diet, we give you some great ways they can be a part of your food and yet loved.
Millet instead of rice
It’s really easy, millets get cooked just like rice. All you have to do is pressure cook or pan cook 1 glass of millet with 3 cups of water. When pan cooking you can observe the progress.
Just when the water evaporates, take it off the flame and let it stay. It will cook some more in the remnant heat and fluff up, looking just like rice.
You can now eat this cooked millet with sambhar or rasam. You can cook millets instead of rice once a week but make sure to check with a dietitian if you have thyroid issues before consuming millets.
Ideal for khichdi or Pongal.
Rice and dal make for a good combination in khichdi. So replacing rice with millets do not make a big difference in taste but a world of difference in the nutritional profile. Take this bajra khichdi, jowar khichdi or foxtail millet khichdi for instance. You could use millets in sweet or salty pongal too. Simple yet salivating millet recipes can be made.
3. Millet for Upma
Millets are available in different forms, even in the semolina version. So you can use millets to replace traditional wheat rava and make upma. We even found ragi vermicelli and made a ragi vermicelli upma out of it.
Salads with millets
Don’t rub your eye in disbelief, we mean it. We made this bajra salad with lime seasoning and the result was finger-licking. Try it for yourself.
Incorporated in the wheat flour
So most of you will be comfortable with chapatis made of wheat flour. We give that comfort to you but you can make it healthy by incorporating millet flour in wheat flour. You can have your own combinations to make healthy rotis. Check with your dietician about the ideal millet to wheat flour ratio especially if you have thyroid troubles.
