About this item

• Sportify Proso Whole Millet flour 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.
