Traditional Grain
Traditional Grain
The world we live in is currently undergoing massive deviations with respect to food choices.
It is also faced with tremendous challenges – both nutritional and agrarian. With the western
world advocating the consumption of ‘superfoods’ such as Quinoa and oats, more and more
Indians are including the same and are ready to burn a hole in their pockets in an attempt to
keep up to rising trends!
What we aren’t realizing however, is that we have an abundance of indigenous nutritionally
requisite and agriculturally competent ‘superfoods’ already available in our country which
have been a part of a traditional healthy diet since time immemorial. These grains are the
ones our grandparents have grown up eating which enabled them to stay fit, active and far
from the burden of diseases. With the shift towards more profitable, high-yielding hybrid
crops, a large number of nutritious, indigenous varieties of food grains began to lose their
place in farms and on our plates. Here are a few grains that should definitely make a
comeback into your kitchen!
We at ‘Farm to Fellas’ believe that the revival of indigenous food grains is necessary to
improve the health and nutritional status of our population. We are thus, working towards
ensuring you get the goodness of traditional food grains and millets back into your diet.
- Our ‘Desi bajri ka atta’ can easily be incorporated in chapatis, adding a punch of fibre
and necessary micronutrients
- Alternatively, ‘desi bajri ka daliya’ pounded using traditional farm tools like ‘chakki’
will ensure a delicious and energetic start to your morning breakfast
- Combining the goodness of millets and protein loaded pulses, we also have ‘moth
bajri ka daliya’ that can be conveniently made with the addition of seasonal
vegetables for a yummy one-pot meal.
- We also have a ‘Multigrain flour’ loaded with the goodness of a variety of nutritious
grains and pulses such as whole what flour, jowar flour, bajra flour, moong dal flour
and chana flour. This versatile product can very easily be used in a variety of recipes
such as in chapatis, vegetable uttapams, crackers etc. The limit is your imagination!
- Our ‘Jau Flour’ is replete with the goodness of Barley in the form of a really versatile
flour, grown using heirloom variety of organic Barley from our farms – packed with
nutrition!
- Yet another millet flour, ‘Jowar Flour’ is perfect for those going gluten-free and is
made using heirloom variety of organic jowar (sorghum), a nutritious millet grain,
from our farms!
- Our ‘Moong Flour’ is a gluten-free, pulse-based flour made using heirloom variety of
organic Moong beans from our farms. Along with being power-packed with a large
number of nutrients, this flour is supremely versatile and can be easily incorporated to
make a variety of dishes such as cheelas and khandvis!
Its time to go back to our roots and follow the footsteps of our grandparents to ensure good
health prevails!
