Bajra has the highest iron content of any millet — 8mg per 100g, 44% of your daily requirement. Sprouting then unlocks that iron by dissolving the phytic acid that blocks its absorption. The most effective iron-rich flour in your kitchen.
What is Sprouted Bajra Flour?
Bajra (pearl millet) has been a staple of Rajasthani, Gujarati, and Haryanvi kitchens for thousands of years — a robust, drought-resistant crop that thrives where wheat cannot. It is particularly prized in winter for its warming, energy-dense nature. Sprouted Bajra Flour starts with whole pearl millet that is germinated to activate enzymes, reduce antinutrients, and improve mineral bioavailability — then gently dried and stone-ground. The result is a flour that delivers bajra's exceptional iron content in a form your body can actually absorb.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is bajra considered a winter grain?
In Ayurveda and traditional nutrition, bajra is classified as a warming, heating grain that increases body temperature and provides dense caloric energy — ideal for the cold months when the body requires more energy to maintain warmth. In North and West India, bajra rotis with ghee are a winter staple consumed specifically during colder months.
Can bajra roti be made as easily as wheat roti?
Bajra roti (bhakri) has a different technique — it is typically hand-patted rather than rolled, as the dough lacks gluten and tears when rolled thin. Knead with warm water until the dough is smooth. Some people mix in a small amount of whole wheat flour (10–15%) to make rolling easier while retaining bajra's nutritional benefits.
Is bajra rich in iron?
Bajra is naturally rich in iron, and eating it with vitamin C–rich foods such as lemon, tomato or amla helps your body absorb plant iron. If you have been told you are low in iron, please follow your doctor's advice.
I have diabetes. Can I eat bajra?
Bajra is a whole grain with plenty of fibre, but it is still a carbohydrate food. If you have diabetes, please ask your doctor or dietitian how it fits into your meals.
