bajra (Millet)
Bajra, also known as millet, is a type of grain that is widely cultivated in arid and semi-arid regions. It is a staple food in many parts of India and Africa, valued for its resilience to drought and ability to grow in poor soil conditions. Bajra is rich in nutrients, including protein, fiber, and essential minerals like iron and magnesium.
This grain is often ground into flour to make various traditional dishes, such as rotis and porridge. Bajra is gluten-free, making it a suitable option for those with gluten intolerance. Its health benefits and versatility in cooking contribute to its popularity in many cuisines.
