Description :
Kodo flour is a highly nutritious, gluten-free flour milled from kodo millet (Paspalum scrobiculatum), an ancient and exceptionally hardy grain native to the Indian subcontinent. Visually, the flour features a soft, light-beige to pale-grey hue with a smooth, fine consistency. It carries a subtle, clean, and earthy aroma with a mild, distinctively nutty flavour profile that provides a neutral yet hearty base, allowing it to blend seamlessly into a wide variety of culinary preparations. Nutritionally, Kodo flour is widely recognized as a premier functional food, particularly celebrated for its exceptionally high antioxidant content, specifically polyphenols, which help neutralize free radicals. It is rich in dietary fibre and contains a low glycaemic index, making it one of the most effective flours for managing blood sugar levels and promoting long-term metabolic health. Additionally, it is an excellent source of essential minerals like iron, magnesium, calcium, and phosphorus, alongside a healthy amount of B-vitamins, making it highly valued for cardiovascular wellness and weight management. In the kitchen, Kodo flour is incredibly adaptable and serves as an excellent health-focused alternative to wheat or rice flour. It is traditionally used to make soft flatbreads (rotis), savoury crepes, and nutrient-dense, comforting porridges. Because it lacks gluten, it produces a delightfully tender texture, making it increasingly popular in contemporary healthy baking for items like crackers, biscuits, and muffins. Furthermore, its smooth, fine starch composition makes it an excellent natural thickening agent that adds body and a wholesome nutritional boost to everyday soups, curries, and gravies. Location : Punjab, India
