jhangora
Jhangora, also known as barnyard millet or Echinochloa frumentacea, is a nutritious grain primarily grown in the Indian subcontinent. It is a small, round seed that is rich in protein, fiber, and essential minerals, making it a healthy alternative to more common grains like rice and wheat. Jhangora is often used in various traditional dishes, including porridge and flatbreads.
This grain is particularly valued for its ability to thrive in poor soil and withstand drought conditions, making it a sustainable crop in regions with challenging climates. Additionally, jhangora is gluten-free, making it suitable for individuals with gluten intolerance or celiac disease.
