In the world of supergrains, pearl millet (bajra) stands out for one standout advantage: its exceptionally high iron content. Whether you’re combating fatigue, supporting healthy blood, or simply seeking a wholesome grain swap, bajra delivers—and with Millets Now, you can enjoy its benefits in convenient, delicious forms.
Why Pearl Millet Is Your Iron Ally
-
Iron Content: At roughly 6–9 mg of iron per 100 g, bajra outshines many other cereals. This mineral is essential for hemoglobin formation, oxygen transport, and energy production.
-
Complete Nutrition: Beyond iron, pearl millet also offers 11–13 g protein, 1–3 g fat (mostly heart-healthy unsaturated), 70 g carbohydrates, and 2–3 g dietary fiber per 100 g.
-
Low Glycemic Index: With a GI of around 55, bajra helps regulate blood sugar—ideal for sustained energy and weight management.
Gluten-Free & Heart-Healthy: Its lack of gluten and favorable lipid profile make it perfect for sensitive diets and cardiovascular support.
