Jowar Flour is a finely milled product derived from whole grains of Sorghum bicolor, commonly known as Jowar or Great Millet. It is a staple in many traditional diets and is increasingly recognized for its nutritional benefits and gluten-free properties, making it a popular choice in health-conscious and functional food formulations.
From a nutritional perspective, Jowar Flour is rich in complex carbohydrates, dietary fiber, and essential minerals such as iron, magnesium, and phosphorus. It also provides moderate protein content and beneficial antioxidants. Its low glycemic index supports blood sugar management, making it suitable for diabetic-friendly diets. Being naturally gluten-free, it is ideal for individuals with gluten intolerance or celiac disease.
Jowar Flour is widely used in traditional Indian flatbreads (rotis), porridge, and fermented foods, and is increasingly incorporated into multigrain mixes, snacks, bakery products, and gluten-free formulations. Its mild flavor and versatility make it an excellent ingredient for both household and industrial applications.
