Samai in Tamil, Kutki in hindi
It is called the immune boosting indigenous grain.
Little millet has a significant role in providing nutraceutical components such as phenols, tannins and phytates, along with other nutrients. They are low in carbohydrates; slow digestion and low-water soluble gum content have been attributed to improve glucose metabolism. These grains release sugar slowly in the blood. It cooks faster than all the other millets.
The amount of fibre in this millet helps maintain sound digestion and satiates hunger quickly
