What is Jowar (Sorghum)?
Jowar, also known as sorghum, is one of India’s oldest grains — a powerhouse of nutrition that’s been a staple in Indian villages for generations. And now, it’s making a healthy comeback in modern Indian kitchens.
This gluten-free millet is packed with fiber, essential nutrients, and natural energy, making it perfect for anyone looking to eat clean and stay fit.
Health Benefits of Jowar
Let’s break down why Jowar is winning hearts in the health and wellness world:
1. Great for Diabetics
Jowar has a low glycemic index, meaning it digests slowly and doesn’t spike blood sugar levels. That makes it a smart grain for people managing diabetes.
2. Supports Weight Management
Rich in dietary fiber, Jowar keeps you full for longer, reducing cravings and helping with natural weight control.
3. Heart-Healthy Grain
Loaded with antioxidants and magnesium, Jowar helps in lowering cholesterol and improving heart health — especially when combined with other good-for-heart grains.
4. Boosts Digestive Health
Jowar is high in insoluble fiber, which supports smooth digestion and prevents constipation.
5. Naturally Gluten-Free
Unlike wheat, Jowar is naturally gluten-free, making it suitable for people with gluten sensitivity or those choosing gluten-free diets.
