This ancient grain is naturally gluten-free, rich in dietary fiber, protein, and essential minerals such as magnesium and phosphorus. Bajra is valued for its easy digestibility, nutritional density, and suitability for traditional as well as modern health-focused diets. Its flour is commonly used in bread and flatbread preparations.
