Foxtail Millet Puttupodi

Key Features :

Low Glycemic Index: Foxtail millet has a low glycemic index, which means it causes a slower,
more gradual increase in blood sugar levels compared to other carbohydrate-rich foods. This helps diabetics avoid sudden spikes in blood glucose.
Rich in Fiber: High fiber content promotes satiety, aids in digestion, and helps regulate blood
sugar levels. This makes it easier to manage hunger and control cravings.
Enhances Insulin Sensitivity: Foxtail millet is rich in magnesium, a mineral crucial for glucose
metabolism and insulin function. Regular consumption can improve insulin sensitivity and help the body respond better to insulin.
Nutrient-Dense: Packed with essential nutrients like iron, calcium, and B vitamins, foxtail millet supports overall health and well-being. These nutrients are vital for maintaining healthy blood, bones, and energy metabolism.
Versatile: Perfect for making puttu, a steamed cake that can be enjoyed with various
accompaniments like coconut, jaggery, or spicy curries.
