Description

Thinai has been grown in Tamil Nadu for thousands of years and remains one of the most nutritionally complete millets available today. Stone-cleaned and unpolished, our organic foxtail millet comes to you in its most wholesome form, free from chemicals, bleaching, and processing.

Why Thinai

High protein content of approximately 12.3g per 100g, nearly double that of white rice
Naturally low glycaemic index of around 50 to 55, ideal for diabetics and blood sugar management
Rich in iron, magnesium, and phosphorus for everyday energy and bone health
Good source of dietary fibre for digestion and long-lasting satiety
100% gluten-free and suitable for all ages

How to Use

Foxtail millet works beautifully as a rice substitute with sambar or rasam, as upma, khichdi, or ground into flour for dosas and rotis. It has a mild, nutty taste and absorbs flavours well. Cook it in cold-pressed gingelly oil for an authentic South Indian finish.

If you enjoy thinai as a morning meal, our foxtail millet pongal mix uses this same grain as its base and is ready in under 15 minutes, with no prep needed. Those looking to rotate millets through the week can pair thinai with organic ragi and barnyard millet (kuthiraivali) for a well-rounded grain routine. For a single pack that covers all of them, the millet health mix blends seven grains into one wholesome daily drink.

Weight: 500g | No preservatives. No artificial colour. No added flavour.
