It grows in poor, drought-prone soils where other crops fail — an incredibly resilient grain that has sustained communities in Central and South India for thousands of years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Activated\" means the grain is soaked overnight before milling, triggering natural enzyme activity that breaks down phytic acid, an antinutrient that binds iron and minerals and blocks their absorption. The soaked grain is then gently sun-dried and stone cold-milled into a fine, light flour that is mild in flavour and highly versatile in the kitchen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Benefits — Validated by Data\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e9.3mg iron per 100g\u003c\/strong\u003e — over 50% of the adult daily iron requirement in a single 100g serving.
