MILLET RUSK/PUFFED CHIPS/HEART POPS: Millet rusks are the crunchy, “ancient grain” evolution of the classic tea-time snack. By replacing refined flour (maida) with grains like Finger Millet (Ragi), Sorghum (Jowar), and Pearl Millet (Bajra), these twice-baked treats provide a high-fiber, mineral-rich alternative to standard bakery rusks.
Nutritional Profile by Millet Type
- Ragi (Finger Millet) Rusk: The “Calcium Powerhouse.” Ideal for children and the elderly, Ragi rusks provide essential calcium for bone density and are rich in thiamine (Vitamin B1).
- Jowar (Sorghum) Rusk: The “Heart Guard.” Naturally high in potassium and dietary fiber, Jowar helps manage blood pressure and reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
- Bajra (Pearl Millet) Rusk: The “Iron Booster.” These are particularly beneficial for improving hemoglobin levels and providing sustained energy during winter months due to their thermogenic properties.
- Kodo & Little Millet Rusk: These varieties are exceptionally high in antioxidants and polyphenols, which help detoxify the body and support a healthy gut microbiome.
