My previous blog of Millets continues here with two more millets Little millet and Barnyard millet.
The little millet may be called little but in no means its nutritional content is little. It is a rich source of B-vitamins, minerals like calcium, iron, zinc, potassium among others.It also provides essential fats to the body, the kind that helps in weight loss. Its high fibre content is yet another positive making it an ideal part of pongal or even kheer instead of rice.
Barnyard millet, with its nutritional profile, should belong on our tables already. It has 6 times more of fibre than wheat making it an ideal weight loss millet.The fibre will help maintain satiety,is rich sources of bone-building minerals calcium and phosphorus. The good antioxidant profile makes it an ideal replacement to rice in dosa/idli/dhokla batters.
