Nutritional benefits
Jowar is a nutrient-dense millet that is naturally rich in dietary fibre, which supports digestion and promotes a feeling of fullness. It also contains essential minerals such as iron, magnesium and phosphorus, along with antioxidants that support overall health. Being naturally gluten-free and relatively light on the stomach, jowar can be a healthy addition to balanced meals.
How to use jowar in everyday cooking
Jowar is a versatile millet that can be easily incorporated into daily meals. Its flour can be used to make rotis, dosas, chillas and pancakes, while whole jowar can be added to salads, soups and grain bowls for extra texture and nutrition. You can also use jowar flour in baked goods such as muffins and breads, or mix it with wheat flour to boost the fibre content of everyday recipes. Its mild flavour makes it easy to pair with a variety of ingredients and cuisines.
