Organic Raw Foxtail Millet, also known as Thinai, is a distinctive offering from the Nalvazhi Organic Farmers Market. With a history of human consumption spanning over 8,000 years, millets have played a pivotal role as a fundamental food source. Nevertheless, modern culinary trends often lean towards refined and flavorful options. The slender seeds of foxtail millet, measuring approximately 2 mm and encased in a delicate, crisp shell, are typically found in varying shades from light yellow to light brown. Primarily cultivated in arid regions, foxtail millet boasts significant iron levels and is naturally resistant to pests. Not only does Thinai obviate the need for fumigants, but it also acts as an effective insecticide when stored alongside sensitive pulses like green gram. Moreover, it contributes to elevated HDL cholesterol, reduced LDL cholesterol, and regulated blood sugar levels. The advantages of incorporating Organic Raw Foxtail Millet into one's diet are multifaceted:

It may assist in managing diabetes.

Organic Raw Foxtail Millet could potentially facilitate weight loss.

Strengthening of bones may be promoted through its consumption.

There is a likelihood of fortifying the neurological system.

Cardiac health may be enhanced by incorporating Organic Raw Foxtail Millet.

It has the potential to bolster immune function.

To make the most of Organic Raw Foxtail Millet:

Soak the millet in three to four times its volume of water for a minimum of six hours before straining. While soaking, agitate the millet to ensure clarity of the water.

A full night of soaking ensures the breakdown of phytic acid, which impedes nutrient absorption by the body.

Boiled organic foxtail millet pairs well with vegetable stir-fry, dal, curry, chutney, curd, and pickle.
