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.
