The "Winter Superfood" & Heart Health Hero
Organic Bajra Flour, commonly known as Pearl Millet, is a robust, ancient grain that has been a staple in the arid regions of Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Africa for centuries.Unlike refined wheat which is often bleached, Bajra flour retains its natural greyish-hue and rich nutrient profile because it is ground from the whole grain.
It is uniquely classified in Ayurveda as a "heating" food, making it the perfect choice for winter consumption to keep the body warm. It has a distinctively nutty, earthy flavor and a coarser texture than wheat flour.It is a powerhouse of Magnesium and Potassium, making it exceptional for heart health and controlling blood pressure.
Key Features
-
Taste Profile: Deeply nutty and earthy with a hint of sweetness. It has a rustic, hearty flavor that pairs perfectly with jaggery or spicy garlic chutney.
-
Texture: The flour is slightly coarse and non-sticky. Rotis made from Bajra are thicker (Rotla) and have a "biscuit-like" crispness if cooked well.
-
Winter Warrior: Known for its thermal properties, it generates heat in the body, which is why it is traditionally eaten with Ghee during cold months.
-
Heart Health: Packed with magnesium and potassium, which help dilate blood vessels and improve circulation.

Cooking Tip for Bajra Flour
The "Hot Water" Rule: Like other gluten-free flours, Bajra has no elasticity.
Kneading: You must use hot water to knead the dough. This gelatinizes the starch and makes the dough pliable enough to pat into a roti without breaking.
Hand Patting: Traditional Bajra rotis are "tapped" or flattened between palms (creating a Rotla), as using a rolling pin can sometimes cause them to crack.
Storage Instructions:
Store in a cool, dry place
