THE MILLET REVOLUTION: A HEALTHIER SWEET ALTERNATIVE
Millets, such as ragi (finger millet), bajra (pearl millet), jowar (sorghum), and foxtail millet, are ancient grains that have been cultivated in India for thousands of years.
Once a staple in many Indian households, millets have been making a comeback in recent years as a superfood, gaining popularity for their impressive nutritional profile. Rich in fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, these gluten-free grains are ideal for anyone seeking a healthier diet.
When it comes to Diwali sweets, replacing refined ingredients with millet-based alternatives can significantly boost the nutritional value of your desserts. Millets are naturally high in protein, low on the glycemic index, and packed with essential minerals like iron, calcium, and magnesium, making them a healthier option compared to refined flour or semolina.
`WHY CHOOSE MILLET SWEETS FOR DIWALI?1.Nutritional Benefits: Millets are rich in dietary fiber, which aids digestion and helps maintain blood sugar levels. Their high protein content keeps you fuller for longer, reducing the urge to overindulge in sweets. Including millet-based sweets in your Diwali menu can be a thoughtful gesture for guests who are health-conscious or managing lifestyle conditions like diabetes or gluten intolerance.
