However, the question arisesAre Millets only for winters or can they be consumed in summers as well?

The answer is a resounding YES! Millets are not just winter staples; they can be equally beneficial in summers, provided we choose the right type and prepare them accordingly.

MILLETS ARE GOOD FOR SUMMERS

Natural Cooling Effect: Millets like Jowar, Ragi, Foxtail millet, Barnyard millet and Kodo millet have cooling properties that help regulate body temperature and keep you hydrated.

RICH IN FIBER AND HYDRATION:

High fiber content in millets aids digestion, preventing bloating and acidity, common summer issues.

Packed with Essential Nutrients: Millets are a powerhouse of vitamins and minerals like Magnesium, Phosphorous and Iron, keeping energy levels high.

Gluten-free and Easy to Digest: Light millets like Barnyard and Kodo millets are easier on the stomach and don’t cause heaviness.
