India's most widely eaten millet ā sprouted to unlock its protein and cold milled to preserve every B vitamin. Jowar has been a staple of the Deccan plateau for 3000 years, and this is its most nutritious form.
Why Sprouted and Cold Milled?
Jowar (sorghum) contains a protein called kafirin which, in its natural state, is resistant to digestion ā only 46% of its protein is usable by the body when eaten unsprouted. Sprouting breaks down kafirin structures and activates enzymes that improve protein digestibility by up to 35%, making the nutritional value of the grain far more realisable. Cold milling then ensures the heat-sensitive B vitamins, antioxidants, and natural oils are preserved ā conventional stone-milling and roller milling generate heat that damages these nutrients.
Key Benefits
- Gluten-free ā a safe wheat substitute for coeliac and gluten-sensitive individuals
- 24% daily iron per 100g ā meaningful contribution to daily iron needs
- 165mg magnesium ā supports sleep quality, muscle function, and heart rhythm
- High niacin (B3) ā 3.7mg per 100g, supports energy metabolism and skin health
- Improved protein digestibility ā sprouting increases usable protein by up to 35%
- 7g dietary fibre ā feeds gut microbiome and supports digestive regularity
- Traditional digestive grain ā lighter on the stomach than wheat for many people
How to Use
- Jowar roti / bhakri ā knead with hot water, roll thin, cook dry on tawa
- Use in gluten-free dosas and pancakes
- Mix with other flours for gluten-free baking (bread, muffins, cookies)
- Make jowar porridge ā similar to polenta or upma
- Use as a coating for fried or baked snacks
- Blend into smoothies or health drinks for added fibre
Frequently Asked Questions
What does cold milling mean?
Cold milling means the flour is ground at a controlled low temperature, unlike conventional mills where friction generates heat up to 80ā100°C. High heat destroys heat-sensitive nutrients including B vitamins, antioxidants, and natural oils. Cold milling preserves these intact, resulting in a nutritionally superior flour.
Can jowar roti be made as soft as wheat roti?
Jowar roti (bhakri) is traditionally thicker and firmer than wheat roti ā it has a different texture profile. To make it softer, knead with boiling water and keep covered with a damp cloth while rolling. Adding a small amount of our sprouted wheat flour (5ā10%) can help with binding if desired.
Is jowar suitable for diabetics?
Yes ā jowar has a moderate glycaemic index (around 62) that is improved further in sprouted form. Its high fibre content slows starch digestion. Jowar rotis are a traditional part of diabetic diets across Maharashtra and Karnataka.
How is jowar different from bajra?
Both are millets, but from different plants. Jowar (sorghum) has a milder, more neutral flavour and is typically easier to digest. Bajra (pearl millet) has a stronger earthy flavour and is higher in fat and iron. Both are gluten-free and nutritionally excellent.
