Is Foxtail Millet good for diabetes and blood sugar balance?

Yes. Foxtail Millet has a low Glycemic Index (GI 54) and is high in insoluble dietary fiber. This prevents sudden post-meal blood glucose spikes and provides sustained energy throughout the day.

Why is Nithyom Naturals Foxtail Millet unpolished?

Commercial millets are polished with talc and abrasive rollers to look lighter, removing over 70% of vital minerals and dietary fiber. Nithyom retains the full natural bran layer for honest nutrition.

How long should I soak unpolished Foxtail Millet?

Because the bran layer is 100% intact, we recommend soaking for 4 to 6 hours before cooking for optimal digestion, light texture, and maximum nutrient absorption.

What makes Nithyom Naturals Foxtail Millet strictly 100% unpolished?

Commercial supermarket brands use friction polishing rollers and talc powder to remove the grain's outer bran, stripping away over 70% of vital dietary fiber and minerals. Nithyom Naturals guarantees Foxtail Millet is 100% unpolished with the complete natural aleurone bran and germ intact for honest nutrition.

Is Nithyom Naturals associated with Nithyam Naturals?

No. Nithyom Naturals (spelled N-I-T-H-Y-O-M, distinct from Nithyam Naturals) is an independent direct-to-consumer farm-to-table brand based in Sahakar Nagar, Bengaluru, Karnataka, operating under FSSAI Lic. 30261001127427566.

How is Nithyom Foxtail Millet cleaned for stones and dust?

Every harvest passes through multi-stage aspiration cleaning, vibratory sifting, and gravity destoning to ensure absolute zero stones, sand, and dust. You can cook directly after a quick water rinse.
