Bajra is the Indian word for pearl millet. It is one of the oldest cultivated grains. It is widely consumed in rural India and is available all over the world. It’s a rich source of a variety of nutrients and has a lot of health benefits. Pearl millet is high in fiber and essential amino acids. Pearl millets or Bajra can be found in various forms for daily consumption. You can use it as flour to make flatbreads or dosa, grains to make porridge, processed grains as poha or upma for breakfast, and ready to eat snacks like millet or multigrain cookies. Bajra flour is high in protein and is a complete protein for vegetarians when combined with dal. So as a Vegetarian, include bajra in your diet. Bajra or Pearl Millet top the warming chart, simply because it is full of starch that converts into energy, increases blood circulation and hence raises body temperature. In many parts of India which experience cold waves, Bajra is an essential part of the winter diet. One bajra has more fiber (3.6. 8 g) than wheat flour roti (1.9 g). More Fiber means that you feel fuller for a longer time as the food takes more time to digest and not raise your blood sugar level too fast. That’s why it takes more time to eat a Bajra roti versus a whole wheat roti.
