Little Millet (Kutki / Samai) – Wholesome Ancient Grain for Everyday Nutrition

Little Millet, also known as Kutki in Hindi and Samai in South India, is a time-honored ancient grain valued for its exceptional nutritional profile and easy digestibility. Naturally gluten-free and rich in essential nutrients, Little Millet is an excellent alternative to polished rice and refined grains, making it ideal for modern, health-conscious lifestyles.

Naturally Nutritious & Balanced

Little Millet is packed with dietary fiber, plant-based protein, and essential minerals such as iron, magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium. Its high fiber content supports healthy digestion, helps maintain gut health, and promotes a feeling of fullness, making it beneficial for weight management and mindful eating.

Low Glycaemic Index – Diabetes Friendly

With a low glycaemic index, Little Millet releases energy slowly, helping regulate blood sugar levels. This makes it a smart grain choice for people managing diabetes, prediabetes, or those aiming for sustained energy throughout the day without sugar spikes.

Heart-Healthy & Easy to Digest

The presence of antioxidants and minerals in Little Millet supports heart health by helping manage cholesterol levels. Its light texture and easy digestibility make it suitable for all age groups, including children and the elderly.
