Pearl Millet (Bajra)
Pearl Millet (Bajra): –
Pearl Millet, popularly known as Bajra in India, is one of the oldest cultivated grains and a key staple in many parts of Asia and Africa. Belonging to the millet family, Bajra is a resilient, drought-tolerant cereal crop that grows well in arid and semi-arid regions. India is the world’s largest producer of pearl millet, with major cultivation in Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, and Haryana.
Pearl millet is recognized globally for its remarkable health benefits, high nutritional content, and adaptability to poor soil conditions. At Godhani International, we supply high-quality, export-grade Pearl Millet that meets food-grade and feed-grade requirements. Our millet is hygienically cleaned, processed, and packaged using advanced facilities to ensure consistency in size, purity, and shelf life.
Pearl millet seeds are small, round, and typically light brown or greyish in color. The grains are either consumed whole or ground into flour and used in traditional foods, multigrain mixes, porridge, snacks, and health supplements. They are also widely used in the livestock feed industry due to their high energy content.
Key Benefits:
-
Rich Nutritional Profile: Bajra is loaded with essential nutrients such as protein, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, and dietary fiber. It contains complex carbohydrates that release energy slowly, supporting prolonged satiety and blood sugar management.
-
Gluten-Free Grain: Being naturally gluten-free, pearl millet is a suitable dietary option for people with gluten intolerance, celiac disease, or those opting for clean, natural grains.
-
Excellent for Cardiovascular Health: Due to its high magnesium and potassium levels, bajra helps regulate blood pressure, reduce cholesterol, and support heart health.
-
Aids in Digestion & Weight Loss: Pearl millet’s high fiber content promotes healthy digestion, prevents constipation, and improves gut health. It’s often recommended in weight-loss diets for its ability to keep one full for longer.
