About this item

• Sportify Proso Whole Millet grain is nutritious and has good proportion of protein and fibre.
• Glycemic Index (GI) & Glycemic Load (GL): Little Millet has lower GI & GL as compared to Wheat & regular White Rice because the high content of fiber makes the digestion of carbohydrates a slow process. It takes a long time for glucose to enter the blood and maintains the blood sugar level.
• Impact on Heart Health & Cancer prevention: Proso millet in regular diets can lower cholesterol, TNFα, phytate, and increase HDL and adiponectin. An increase in HDL and adiponectin can reduce the risks of many hormone-dependent cancers, CVD and breast cancer. The non-digestible prebiotic carbohydrates in Proso millet helps in the growth of desirable microflora in the intestine. It can prevent constipation and is, therefore, quite effective as preventive food against colon cancer.
• Brain Health: Proso millet contains a high amount of lecithin which plays an important role in the neural health system by repairing and regenerating myelin fiber and intensifying brain cell metabolism.

• Gluten-Free Alternative: Millets are naturally gluten-free, making them an excellent choice for individuals with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease. They provide a nutritious and versatile gluten-free grain option for those following a gluten-free diet.
• Minimally processed: Only the hard outer husk is removed without losing the bran, so the goodness of the bran & nutrients stay intact. Unpolished Proso millet is also a good source of phosphorus which helps with metabolism and energy production.
