- INDIAN MILLETS: Health Benefits + How to include in diet
Millets, which were once considered a poor man’s food in India, have now gained popularity because of their innumerable health benefits and their excellent nutrient profile. Indian millets should be included and made an integral part of our diets. Millets have a better and healthier nutrition profile than rice and wheat. In fact, millets can be used as a healthy and gluten free replacement for wheat and rice.
In this video, I am sharing with you about 5 popular Indian Millets and their unique health benefits, along with ideas on how you could cook these millets, and make them a part of your diet. I will also explain ways in which millets are better and healthier than wheat and rice, and can be used as a substitute for these grains. Indian millets offer an exceptional nutrition and antioxidant profile and its time we hunt down the local millets in our neighborhood and start including them in our daily lives.

Hey guys!! Sorry about the delay in uploading this video, but I promise this video is worth your time. Let me know in the comments how many of these millets are you already aware of? Take care!
Good Job Lady.....Worth watching
Hello, Enjoyed your video, very informative. Are these millets available in the United States ? Thank you. Take care.
Extremely helpful and very well explained!
Which millet to consume for people suffering from hypothyroidism?
Thanks
Thank u soooo much for the info...
We've been having Bajra,Jowar,Ragi,Maize etc. We also have Foxtail millet in Navratras
Pearl millet, sorghum and finger millet is common in Nigeria. I make them into porridge or pap or pound into powder for my children. Thank you for highlighting the quality of these grains because people consider them poor man's meals
Better you mentioned the price sources nd hindi names because they rnt poorly priced people only know them on Amazon isn't a poor person's platform
Fellow Nigerian i greet you. I have asked for these in the market but they don't know what i am saying. Is there a local name for these millets and sorghum that i can use to make enquiries? Thanks
@@djsa6218 you can ask for jero, dawa, tamba if you are in the north. If you are in the South-West, you can ask for oka, and they will bring out the available grains for you
@@toluasaolu many thanks
'poor man's meals'
- what people think is not important at all.. 🙄
the only important thing is,
how nutritious it is.. 👍🏻
You're absolutely right!!! Even AFRICANS who have some of these nutritious grains,have been running after wheat,white rice and other foreign foods,which are making them sick,and ignoring their staple foods that much more health beneficial!!! Thank you for this information 👏
It was colonialism and the belief that the West is always right that made us abandon some of these foods. Where I come from we abandoned yams and cassava but these are slowly making a return.
We in Nigeria already enjoy finger millet in porridge form. I am now particularly interested in Barnyard millet for weight lose and I’m excited to know that my rice can be replace by all these millets. This video was extremely informative for me which has earned my subscription. Thanks so much.
This is an under rated channel... To the point clear information no drama.....you earned a subscriber 👍
Your eyes are windows to a beautiful vista of health and well-being. YOU are what you eat !! Thanks for caring.
As a U.S. citizen, I can assure you that there are only two kinds of rice, white and brown, two kinds of wheat, white and whole grain, and that quinoa, sorghun, and millet are three different unrelated foods! (US arrogance and ignorance is very difficult to dispel! 😜 )
Very informative and useful; thanks for the details, and for bringing my personal arrogance down one notch! 🌹
I used to think that, too. Then, I started cooking for myself. Basmati rice is now my favorite rice. Much better than Uncle Ben or Jasmine rice ;)
In india you have 100 of rice varities ..clearly she is indian talking about the Indian people who overly depend on Rice and wheat which is polished ...so she requesting to take millets which r also 5 types healthy and less carbohydrates...
True American concept
Of food is considered as the ultimate ,!!
Funny that you talk about ignorance, because there are more than 2 types of rice, but what really gets me is what you said about wheat. Who,e grain is the form that the wheat is in before it is milled. There are 4 kinds of wheat, hard and soft red wheat, and hard and soft white wheat.
*We consume all 11 millets in different parts of Karnataka. Most consumed once are Ragi(Fingermillet) in South Karnataka, Jola(Jowar/Sorghum), Sajje(Bajra/Pearlmillet) & Maize in form Rotti in North Karnataka. Instead of rice in NK, Navane(Foxtailmilet), Saame(Littlemillet), Oodalu(Barnyardmillet) was eaten. In SK. Aarka(Kodomillet) was consumed. Baragu(Proso) is eaten in different parts of Karnataka.
One can make Rotti, Chapati, Mudde(Balls), anything & everything that is made with Rice & wheat. Refer millet magic channel for millet recipes.*
Dear Darshan, thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Can you please name all the 11 millets and where can I buy them from?
JOwar - sorghum
Bajra - Pearl millet
Ragi - finger millet
Makaki - maize
Kodo milet
Little millet
Barnyard Millet
Proso Millet
FOxtail Millet
Browntop millet
Which is the 11th one?
@@pranavdhanapal5108 Proso millet belongs to first group i.e., Neutral millets.
Neutral millets help to maintain your health, they neither cure your nor let any disease attack you.
The second group is called positive millets or Siridhanya. They cure all the diseases.
The 11th one you questioned is called "Kumnakki" in Kannada... Akki = Rice, Kumna = ?
Dr. Khadar travelled all over Karnataka and discovered these 5 positive millets & popularised them. But this Kumnakki was discovered recently...
Dr. Sarala said that, a farmer gave them fistful of seeds of this grain Kumnakki, which his ancestors consumed, claimed the farmer... But no one new what the new grain was except the native name uttered by the farmer.
Khadar sir neither grew it, nor analysed it's medicinal values.
I will meet them one day & will grow Kumnakki in my farm....
@@darshanbakki4162 Thank you very much for this information.
I have started consuming siri-dhanya since last year - just before the pandemic started. It is indeed healthy and I enjoy eating them.
@@pranavdhanapal5108 Oh! That's great.
My grandparents used to eat foxtail, little, barnyard, Kodo, pearl, sorghum, finger - millets. Then gradually they were introduced to rice & wheat. My parent generation ate only ate sorghum & pearl millet. But I ate only chapati & rice till 10 years age.. After i became aware of all these millets, I insisted my mom to make them. Now, we consume all millets... The old glory us repeating now.
But you can observe that, how millets were neglected by govt & ut subsidized cultivation of only rice & wheat in the name of green revolution...
what recipes do you make out of them?
@@darshanbakki4162 thanks bro for your information
I feel proud when young people like u propagate indian items. Would love to learn a lot from u about millets.
Excellent, simply excellent profiling of millets and a quick, yet detailed understanding and introduction to millets. Never heard anything as succinct and precise as your presentation ma'am. Very good. God bless you.
Pearl millet is a staple grain in the Northern part of Namibia. We pound it into fine flour and cook it.
Proud of you ma
Dr khader Sir Life style explain in depth
Good information madam
❤️
How do you cook it? Do you make it like porridge?
Awesome video! You have motivated me to seek out all of these varieties of millet. I didn’t know that there was so many to choose from. Thank you very much for making this video. ❤️
Crystal clear presentation. I am aware of jowar, bajra and ragi + upwas ka chawal.
excelent video
I am alredy on millet since 2 years and replaced rice by 85-90 percent
thank you for sharing
In fact, in very ancient times the South Indian populations’ staple food was Millet. Wheat and even rice were unheard of to this populations. Very ancient Vedic texts mention about this food . Thanks for this video.
And the ancient people here were very much healthier,taller and resistant to disease than the present day Indians running after tastiest foods.
@Amber , yes millet (finger raagi) is still being used as staple food in many households in India , even though rice and wheat are more preferred as staple food.
You have anatomized in detail the efficacy of eating milletes for sublime health. 👌 Thank you Nirupama for your concern for mankind.
Excellent. I was looking for these. Thanks for your hard work 😓🙏
Just stumbled upon your channel and am truly delighted. Wealth of information especially for those living away from our country and don’t have many contacts to ask. I am much older and trying to cling on to old traditions and methods but lack the knowledge and appreciate your translation for each grain. You my dear are doing a huge favour by sharing. Thank you and God Bless.🙏. Now I’m going through all your videos one by one!
Welcome aboard!
This is so informative! I know millets are nutrient-dense but didn’t know India cultivates these many varieties! Feel ashamed that even being an Indian, millet meant only quinoa to me! 😬
Thanks for the information. I'm following all your videos from now on and will also watch all the previous ones. Good knowledge and great information. No nonsense at all. Just pure factual information. God bless your work.
You have exposed the NUTRIENT " info / values " of these 5 varieties. Really appreciate your HUMBLENESS.
" geete raho " BEETI.
Double Thumps up Nirupama. Very informative as well as useful too.Good home work done.Keep it up. Expect more such of a kind.
Sure 😊
Thank you for this informative video. I've started growing two millets (not sure which types yet), sorghum, quinoa, and amaranth in my garden this year, to supplement our diet. I'm going to be adding more types of millet, so I loved hearing the details on each one.
Thanks
Valuable information.. thanks.
I use all 4 millets, except foxtail millet.
Stopped using wheat since last few years, filling good for stomach also. Since then never crossed sugar above 100.
Its so nice to see somebody studied Food science in india where most go for engg.,medical and upsc
It’s incredible the change in my face and body since I stopped eating grainy carbs and sugar (yes including most fruits exception of healthy berries). I have MS and this change has drastically reduced the inflammation in my body. No more puffiness! I was always skinny to begin with but now my face and body are more sculpted and I got compliments of aging backwards lol. I eat Raagi and foxtail millet all the time but will look into the others.
Red or Black rice then will reduce inflammation and tridoshas completely. I'm having the same to balance out aggravated doshas. What medicine couldn't do food is doing with love. The creator 🙏🙏
What is MS
@@VisionMontessorilifeschool Multiple Sclerosis...its a neurological degenerative disease.
In Kerala, ragi used widely for infants.. Now including more in breakfast recipes.. Other millets not so popular.. Well explained video..
Ragi is finger millet
To the point video, with loaded information.keep posting. I highly appreciate your efforts dear.
Thank you so much for sharing this very informative article with us. 🙏 I must start using it again.
The most quality content I have seen so far, thnx you mam
Thanks for watching 😊
Thank you for putting in the time stamps in your description. I haven't explored access to millets here in Canada! But I've only just begun transitioning my eating habit from Western to Asian since July. It will be a long process because of finances, but moving at a speed (slow :D ) which agrees with my age 73yrs!! Love your presentation (though I do slow down the video for my ears) and enthusiasm. Been a subscriber for about 1 1/2 months now. Cheers
Just so you know, Asian might be different to Indian eating habits. And Indians in Canada will be more than happy to help you regarding your access to millets.
Its available at local stores
Try bulkbarn
Thank you so much . In Sri Lanka , we call it Kurakkan . My mum used a lot of millet in our diet and taught us how important it is for us ; she was a midwife and always placed so much importance in on olde fashion home cooking . With blessings .
Very nice quality content and explained in lovely way. Thank you so much. God Bless you.
I’ve just liked and subscribed to your videos for their importance in health related information. Living in Canada, my only source of these millets would, of course, be Desi stores. This video mentions and shows the Desi names for just 3 of the 5 millets mentioned. Please provide the Desi names for all 5 of them, so that I can ask for them and be readily understood. Bohoth Shukriya
Simplified Millets, an extraordinary Video, all the best 👍
Thanks
A very useful video, giving good information. She has good knowledge about nutrition. I recommend her videos strongly
Very clear and informative! Thank you!
The whole country, India should be proud of you. When you present a point while presenting, you are hitting every point "on the nail" which makes the video very interesting.
It is a super food. We are consuming( from 1 yr) it in the place of rice & wheat and lost nearly 8 kg of wt in 1 yr , our immunity level is very good compared to before.
+1.
Even i lost weight avoiding weight n moving on to millets.
Rice i can't skip being a konkani.
Which millet are you consuming out of all these to loose 8kg of weight.
Usually I use little millet,,foxtail,pro so,kodo millet in sequence .I prepare bisibelle bath out of barnyard millet which is common in south india
What proportion to use jowar, wheat, bajra and rahi?
Thanks for the video....so informative....all doubts cleared
Thank you so much for the details
I love quinoa and brown rice . Will follow the above ways to make life healthy
I live in Spain and we eat a lot of rice. I always buy bio whole rice and lentils. This millet sounds vey wholesome so I’m going to look into it. Thank you for the information 🍓😊
Millets are very heelthy specially for diabstics. Also it gives boost to ur over all hedlth. I mix pearl millet, sorghum and red millet and make powder then make flat bread.

Great content! Short and to the point. Also important to note that millets need to be soaked for atleast 12 hours before consuming
I rinse it well before cooking. Didn’t know has to be soaked for so many hours. Could you please give me the reason?
@@melinachessex961 Millets contain a lot of what is called "antinutrients" so basically enzymes which prevent absorption of certain nutrients into the body. When you soak them, these enzymes get deactivated which means your body is able to absorb the nutrients better and also aiding digestion. You can watch millet magic channel to learn more
@@kalyanideepali thank you
2 - 4 hours more than sufficient. Otherwise, looses its needed stiffness after cooking.
@@melinachessex961
Because of HIGH FIBER. Should NOT cook without " suffient " SOAKING.
LOVED this video. I have iron deficiency and I do incorporate Ragi, Quinoa in my diet. Here in USA we co have different Millets available in stores..will get them soon.
Wonderful video! So informative. Thanks so much.
I live in the South. I have Foxtail millet (it is also called Kodu Millet I think). I have it almost everyday. It tastes almost like refined rice (not a great deal of difference in taste). It can be had in the same way that we have rice. Millets are an underappreciated food in our country.

in TV ji😊❤
You have missed the very important property of Millets, that is its Fibre Content
Yes !! Correct sir !! Fibre protects against colon cancer 🙏
Ys i mention it sir
@@nirmalakothuru2593 really madam
Just discovered your channel Nirupama. And I’m in love 🥰 your content really resonates with me
Thank you for the information, very clear and to the point 🙏🏽
Can you please look into the hypothyroidism (controlled with levothyroxine supplements) and including millets in their diet like
fermented millet dosa dough
best to avoid millets if you have thyroid issues
Very Good Video.
Fortunately ITC has lately launched Aashirvaad Multi Millet Mix Atta Pouch of Jowar, Bajra, Ragi, Fox Millet (Navane) and Quinoa Flour.
That's amazing 👏
Dr.khadder Valli suggests to consume single millets and not multi mix grains as each millet has specific carbohydrates and fibre ratio. For best benefits consume one millet for two days each.
This is very informative - I didn't know there were so many types of millet. Thank you for your clear explanations, I have eaten western millet for years but never knew there were so many varieties or the difference between them.
Thnk u nirupamaji for uploading video & bothering about health & diet of indians & all 👍. beautifully explained ur pronoun ciation & vocabulary is excellent keep it up once again i. thnk u frm the bottom of my heart 💖love to see more. Videos on health. God, s creation is wonderful
Excellent video and very informative . We have finger millet in Zimbabwe and we grew up eating it . ( made into ragi muda and ate with and vegetables ) Also made iporridge . The fermented grain , we made into a be beverage , similar kombucha .
Awesome coverage on some of the main millets. Will definitely wait for your next upload on the rest of them.
I am a full-time farmer, based in Mumbai, the farm in Wada, Maharashtra. Am keen to bring awareness to include millets in our diet. Is there a way to talk with you?
Hi purvita .so nice to here u r a full time farmer ... I have started adding ragi jowar bajra ... in idli dosa uthappa .. ragi. Laddu. Raji upma bajra upma
@@ramram-hi2xp yeh sure can. Someone needs to take it up, i donot know how to go about. I do have a whatsapp group.
Isn't bajra and jowar widely grown in Maharashtra? I have been to jowar fields in Maharashtra.
Thanks for sharing dear. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for sharing this unique video, I have been trying to include millets in my diet but often fail too. But now seeing this I have started using true elements jowar flakes for my breakfast, its delicious, healthy and tasty too! Everyone should try having millets I feel!
Please suggest which Miller is right replacement for rice and similarly for wheat flour. I have joint pain, age related issues.
Foxtail millet for rice.... Ragi for rotis
Hi, Good info. I'm from an Agritech segment so I know most of these and I do include them in my diet. But only thing is please do make a video which also speaks on the negatives of consuming these on regular basis. Do they generate heat in the body, or do they intrude on the Thyroid gland secretion etc... Keep up the good work. Way to go girl!!👍
Wow good call out. I just looked it up and found that “Goitrogens are substances that disrupt the production of thyroid hormones. This triggers the pituitary to release thyroid-stimulating hormone, which then promotes the growth of thyroid tissue, eventually leading to goiter.” Millet is one of these foods
in areas with iodine deficiency issues, millet can exacerbate thyroid and goiter. but not if iodine nutrition is adequate
Thanks for sharing this insightful and valuable video on the benefits of consuming millets on human health..
Loved the brevity of your presentation. Sorghum(jowar) is local herein UP but other millets can also be obtained in the market seasonally.
Five positive millets to be consumed are
Foxtail
Little millet
Barnyard
Browntop
Kodo
Ys
We eat all this millet in the Northern part of Nigeria. Thanks for sharing this👍
Don't leave millets don't go with rice and wheat in your entire life the you will be so healthy
All millets are not grown in Africa?
Amazing.u have explained it so well.keep the good work.
Thank you so much. You have explained it well. I am already on my millet journey and incorporate it in dosas and porridge as well as upma.
Excellent video! Do you recommend to pressure cook the millets to maintain their nutrients? Or what is the best way to cook them?
You can pressure cook them.
You can pressure cook them, but you need to soak them for 12-24 hrs. If not they will not be palatable. The fiber present in the grains needs to soak some water, otherwise it will feel like you are eating inedible coconut or rice husk.
@@Villivakkamno please don't use pressure cooker.
Dr khadder Valli recommends to cook millets in earthen pots and yes soaking 6-8 hrs is a must. See all recipes to cook millets on 'Magic millet' TH-cam channel of Dr khadar Valli's daughter Dr. Sarla. She has shown how to cook different varieties of millets.
U r doing great job...need people like u in india
Congratulations ! A very good effort!
1. Jowar= sorghum. 2. Bajra =pearl millet. 3. Raagi. 4. Kodri=foxtail millet 5. Barnyard millet

Ragi is pearl millet
@@radhikareddy1952 Ragi is finger millet.. Pearl millet is called as bajra.. You can verify..😊
Thanks for the information, I was looking for a substitute for rice and your video is very helpful
Good presentation. Thank you 🙏 🙏🙏
Rural Maharashtra and Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh these are commonly used in their meals
All over India...
All these stands very good in theory but in practical life we don’t even get good air to breath and quality food to eat. All are aware what is going on in food industry and in farming.
First start with ur own home kitchen.. Why waiting for industry... Grains are already available in market.. U dont cook them in ur kitchen... Frst u start it
Best video- Best Presentation-Love it -Thanks for the Info
Thank you soo much for explaining different types of millets.....👍👍your presentation is superrr👌👌
Corn ...(Makhi) flour mixed with wheat, Jowar, Bajra & brown rice flour makes lovely roti.
Basically multi grain roti right
What are the proportions or Quantity used for each?
It's strange that you did not include Marua/Madua in your list of millets. This is immensely popular in eastern India.
Finger millet (ragi) ko hi madua kahte hain. She told about it.

You are the one in few who don't waste audience time. You are up to point. Jeep going.
Loved the passion with which you spoke. Thank you for the information. Could you please help with some simple millet recipies. Tx
There are tribal groups and people in villages who still eat a variety of millets and even when it comes rice it is red brown or black. They say that every state in India had a black rice unlike as it is attributed to North East or China. I had read somewhere that there are more than 200 varieties of millets locally eaten in South. I'm sure there are many treasures of pulses and grains and veges if not eaten by us they will be extinct or rather we will loose out big time on our genes and immunity with pollution and adulteration all over. Time to see what our forefathers invested in.
I tried millets but don't like their astringent taste. I like rice and wheat.
Which?
Thanks a lot for the nice effective, informative, and time demanding presentation
Your videos are excellent. It just feels right in the mind to trust your opinion. Thank you.
