HEALTH BENEFITS OF LITTLE MILLET – SAAMAI

Little Millet (Panicum miliare), one of the small millets, is called kutki in Hindi, sava (Marathi), gajro (Gujrati), same (Kannada), samai (Tamil), and samalu (Telugu).

Little millet is suitable for people of all age groups. Little millet is grown throughout India and is a traditional crop. It is a relative of proso millet but the seeds of little millet are much smaller than proso millet.

It is mostly consumed as rice. Any recipe that demands staple rice can be prepared using little millet. It has the smallest grains, so it cooks faster than other millets.

Little Millets are special amongst grains as they are nutritious, gluten-free, non-sticky and non-acid-forming. For those who are health conscious and wary about what they eat, experts suggest that millets should be a part of their daily regular diet.
