Millets, once sidelined as “coarse grains,” are making a powerful comeback—and for good reason. At Amritatva, we’ve chosen millets over wheat in many of our clean-label products because they offer better nutrition, more digestibility, and real food benefits that modern diets need.
Here’s why millets come out ahead when compared to wheat:
- Naturally gluten-free:- Millets are free from gluten, making them suitable for people with celiac disease or gluten intolerance. Wheat, on the other hand, contains gluten, which can trigger bloating, inflammation, and digestive discomfort in many.
- Low glycemic index (GI):- Millets release sugar slowly into the bloodstream, helping manage blood sugar and energy levels—ideal for diabetics and those watching their weight. Refined wheat products spike blood sugar much faster.
- More fibre, better digestion:- Millets contain significantly more fibre than wheat, which supports better digestion, regularity, and gut health.
- Richer in micronutrients:- Compared to wheat, millets are richer in iron, magnesium, phosphorus, and B-vitamins—nutrients essential for immunity, energy, and overall well-being.
- Sustainable and climate-smart:- Millets grow with minimal water and pesticides, making them an eco-friendly choice that supports regenerative farming and a cleaner planet.
By swapping wheat with millets in your everyday meals—through noodles, pasta, or even rotis—you’re not just eating better, you’re eating smarter.
