Jowar
Sorghum
Jowar, also known as Sorghum, is a traditional Indian staple widely consumed across Maharashtra, Karnataka, and parts of Gujarat. Once known as a rural staple, it’s now celebrated for its dense nutrition, earthy flavor, and climate-smart resilience — making it one of the world’s most important ancient grains.
Why Jowar Matters?
RICH IN POLYPHENOLS & ANTIOXIDANTS
Supports heart health and reduces oxidative stress — rare for a grain.
GUT-FRIENDLY & HIGH IN FIBER
Supports smooth digestion and helps manage cholesterol levels.
BALANCES BLOOD SUGAR
Naturally gluten-free and low on the glycemic index — helps prevent sugar spikes and energy crashes.
ENERGY-SUPPORTING B VITAMINS
Especially thiamine (B1) and niacin (B3), which are essential for metabolism and nerve function.
FARMER-FRIENDLY & CLIMATE-RESILIENT
Requires minimal water and grows well in poor soils — one of the most sustainable grains on the planet.
How We Use It at Millet Matters
Jowar features prominently in:
Ragi + Jowar Idli Mix – Brings softness and heartiness to every bite, minus the rice or maida.
Both Pancake Mixes (Vanilla Chocochip & Double Chocochip) – Jowar’s mild sweetness adds body to the batter while keeping it clean and gluten-free.
We love Jowar for its rustic aroma and everyday versatility — whether you're going savory or sweet.
