Known as Samak or Jhangora in Hindi, Kuthiraivali in Tamil, Udalu in Kannada and Oodalu in Telugu, Barnyard Millet is also remarkable for its iron content: at 15.2mg per 100g it provides over 80% of the adult daily iron requirement in a single serving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDhatu's Organic Barnyard Millet is certified organic, sourced from its traditional growing regions and delivered whole and unprocessed. Its combination of extreme fibre content, very high iron, complete gluten freedom and very low glycaemic index makes it one of the most therapeutically valuable grains available — whether your goal is blood sugar control, digestive health, iron status or weight management.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Fibre Champion — 12.6g Per 100g\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDietary fibre is consistently identified in nutritional research as one of the most underconsumed nutrients in modern diets. The WHO recommends 25–38g of dietary fibre daily; most adults consume less than 15g. A single serving of Barnyard Millet (80g dry) provides approximately 10g of fibre — nearly half the daily requirement from one meal. This fibre feeds beneficial gut bacteria (prebiotics), slows glucose absorption, reduces LDL cholesterol absorption, promotes bowel regularity and creates lasting satiety that prevents overeating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eComplete Nutritional Profile\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle ingredient: \u003cstrong\u003eOrganic Barnyard Millet (Echinochloa frumentacea)\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e12.6g dietary fibre per 100g\u003c\/strong\u003e — highest of all millets; exceptional for gut health\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e15.2mg iron per 100g\u003c\/strong\u003e (85% RDA) — extraordinary; prevents iron deficiency anaemia\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVery low glycaemic index — among the lowest GI grains known; clinical studies confirm dramatic reduction in post-meal glucose\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh protein: 6.2g per 100g\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCalcium: 20mg per 100g — 2% RDA\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePhosphorus: 280mg per 100g — 40% RDA\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNaturally gluten-free — 100% safe for coeliac disease\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh antioxidant activity — polyphenols in the bran layer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCertified organic — NPOP certified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBarnyard Millet for Weight Management\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe extraordinarily high fibre content of Barnyard Millet directly supports weight management through multiple mechanisms: the fibre creates significant physical bulk in the stomach (physical satiety), feeds gut bacteria that produce short-chain fatty acids signalling fullness to the brain (hormonal satiety), and slows gastric emptying — all effects that translate to eating less at subsequent meals. Clinical research on high-fibre diets consistently shows superior weight loss outcomes compared to low-fibre approaches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBarnyard Millet in Fasting Traditions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKuthiraivali\/Samak is the second most important fasting grain in India after Sama (Little Millet). Its alkaline nature, light digestibility and complete nutrition make it a staple during Navratri, Ekadashi and other fasting observances. The traditional practice of consuming these specific millets during religious fasts reflects an intuitive understanding of their digestive benefits — knowledge now confirmed by modern nutritional science.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Cook\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAs rice substitute:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rinse 2–3 times. Use 1:3 millet:water ratio (slightly more water than other millets). Cook 20–25 minutes on low heat, covered.
