Jowar, or Sorghum as it is popularly called, is abundantly grown across the country and makes a healthy alternative to the otherwise obsessed-over all-purpose flour or 'Maida'. The millet grain is completely gluten-free, high on protein, iron, and copper, and incredibly rich in fibre, so if you're revisiting your daily diet plan, here's a superfood you could check off your list! A cholesterol-free source of several essential nutrients, especially Vitamin B, this pulse crop is easy to digest and makes a wonderful snack to kickstart a wholesome day, high on energy and good vibes.

Jowar is a terrifically nutritious carbohydrate, and since it is a complex one, it takes its time to get digested in the body, prompting a very gradual increase in blood sugar. So if you are managing diabetes or trying to lose weight, a serving of Jowar makes a perfect choice.

Not just that, the high-fiber millet significantly reduces the risk of high blood pressure, stroke, and cardiac diseases. Just 100 grams of Jowar contains 9.7 grams of fibre, which easily makes up for around 12% of your daily fibre intake.

It is also anti-inflammatory, being rich in phytochemical antioxidants. If you are into endurance sports like running, swimming, biking, and more, it is especially good for you since it enhances the performance, being rich in protein, iron, and magnesium. Jowar also fights against free radicals that are responsible for premature aging and even cancer.
