Barnyard Millet, also known as Jhangora in the Hills of Uttarakhand has an amazing nutrition profile. The gluten Free Super food Barnyard Millet contains high level of minerals and phosphorus. As far as its appearance is concerned, the de-husked grains are light brown in colour, with each grain being somewhat oval in shape, in fact very similar to its now glamorous cousin quinoa. In Uttarakhand it has been used, since time immemorial, during the fasting period of Navratras and other festivals, as not only is it high on energy but it is also light on the stomach, both eminently desirable properties during long fasting periods.
