Ancient Wisdom, Modern Health
Why Choose Millets?
Millets are ancient grains that have nourished civilizations for thousands of years. Today, nutritionists worldwide are rediscovering their incredible health benefits.
What are Millets?
Millets are a group of small-seeded grasses that have been cultivated in Asia and Africa for over 7,000 years. They were staple foods in ancient India before wheat and rice became dominant.
Unlike refined wheat (maida), millets are whole grains packed with fiber, protein, vitamins, and minerals. They’re naturally gluten-free and have a low glycemic index, making them perfect for modern health-conscious lifestyles.
At Millet Bake House, we use four premium millets: Jowar, Ragi, Foxtail, and Little Millet – each offering unique nutritional benefits.
