An Ancient Indian Grain for Wholesome Daily Meals

Organic little millet, commonly known as Samai, Kutki, Samalu, or Chama, is a nutrient-dense ancient grain grown across India for generations. This tiny, pale yellow grain offers a great alternative to white rice and processed grains. It is unpolished, raw, and thoroughly cleaned to keep its natural goodness intact. The mild, nutty flavor fits perfectly into many recipes, making it a handy staple for anyone focusing on clean eating. Its small size means it cooks quickly, saving you time in the kitchen during busy weeknights. It is easy to digest and works well for family meals.

Pure and Simple Ingredients

This package contains only 100% certified organic, unpolished little millet (Panicum sumatrense). It contains no added sugar, artificial preservatives, or synthetic chemicals. Every 100 grams of this grain offers about 342 kcal of energy, 8.7 grams of protein, 2.6 grams of fat, and 2.5 grams of dietary fiber to support your daily nutrition.

Easy Ways to Prepare and Serve Little Millet

Cooking this grain is straightforward and very similar to making rice. For the best results, soak the grains in water for 4 to 6 hours before cooking. This simple step softens the millet and cuts down cooking time. Cook the soaked grains on low heat with a 1:2 ratio of millet to water until the liquid is fully absorbed.

Use it to whip up a warm breakfast porridge, a savory vegetable upma, or a comforting bowl of khichdi. You can also grind the raw grains into a fine flour. This flour works beautifully for making gluten-free rotis, crispy dosas, and soft idlis. It absorbs flavors beautifully, making it an excellent base for rich curries or simple stir-fries.

Sourced from Certified Organic Farms

The brand sources this little millet from trusted agricultural partners who follow sustainable, chemical-free farming practices. By sticking to traditional farming methods, these growers keep the soil healthy and protect the crop's natural quality. This care ensures every grain delivers a clean, authentic taste without any harmful pesticide residues. Each batch undergoes careful quality checks to ensure the grains are free from stones and dust before packaging. You get a pure product that supports traditional farming communities.
