Organic Kodo Millet is a nutritious ancient grain commonly used as a healthy substitute for rice and wheat. It is a good source of protein and an excellent source of dietary fiber, which helps in promoting satiety and digestive health. Kodo millet contains polyphenols—natural antioxidant compounds—and provides small amounts of iron and calcium. In India, it is commonly ground into flour and used in traditional preparations, while in other regions it is cooked and consumed like rice.
