Superfoods in Indian Diet; right from your kitchen

One of the best things about living in India is its food and the culinary heritage that we experience in every meal that we consume. No wonder; back in medieval times, India was the world’s most sought-after country due to its treasure of spices, hidden from the rest of the world. To the present day, the culinary diversity that we find in India cannot be found anywhere else in the world. However, despite having a plethora of food options that are readily and easily available, we often find ourselves purchasing inexpensive, imported alternatives. 

There is a long list of food items that are so affordable that they can be found in every Indian household, yet they are inexpensive and often a luxury overseas, such as in the US. The list includes spices such as turmeric, cardamom, and ashwagandha (15x more expensive), grains such as millets and black gram (10x more expensive), and fruits and vegetables such as guava and jackfruit (20x more expensive). Without waiting any further, let’s learn about the Desi superfoods that you can add to your diet based on their affordability and availability. 

Everyday Nutritional Powerhouses: Here, we will talk about the superfoods that are not only affordable but also readily available in our households. 

Dal (lentils): Packed with some protein, fiber, and many essential minerals, dal is indeed a staple for a reason. You can explore diverse varieties like moong, masoor, tur, urad, and more for different nutritional benefits. 

Leafy Greens: Do not try to underestimate the power of palak (spinach), methi (fenugreek), and sarson (mustard greens). Not only are these loaded with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, but they also boost your immunity in the chilling winter season. 

Seasonal Fruits: Embrace the abundance of papaya, bananas, guavas, and oranges to fuel your body with vitamins and natural sugars.

Spices: We might know them as spices that add flavor to our meals; spices such as turmeric, ginger, garlic, and chili peppers are more than just flavor enhancers. They are anti-inflammatory powerhouses with many health benefits, such as regulating blood pressure and playing a major role in the prevention and treatment of various cancer types. 

Yogurt: It is a natural source of probiotics for gut health, calcium for strong bones, and protein for muscle development. It can be consumed plain, flavored, or even with fruits. 

Nourishing Yet Special: This category will include superfoods that are not as easily found in households like the ones mentioned above, yet they are hidden gems that carry more nutrients than you can take. 

Millets: Ragi (finger millet), bajra (pearl millet), and jowar (sorghum) are some of the gluten-free grains that are rich in protein, fiber, and certain micronutrients. They’re most commonly used in rotis, dosas, or porridge.

Nuts & Seeds: Chia seeds, flaxseeds, and pumpkin seeds are packed with nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids, essential minerals, and protein. You can soak them in water overnight before consuming them or directly sprinkle the seeds on your salads, yogurt, or porridge.

Amla (Indian Gooseberry): One of our top favorite superfoods, amla is a vitamin C powerhouse that boosts immunity, aids in digestion, and comes with anti-inflammatory properties. You can enjoy it raw, pickled, or in the form of juice.

Coconut: Another superfood like the Indian gooseberry, coconut water is the hub of electrolytes, while its flesh has healthy fats and fiber. While it grows in the south, coconut can be found easily in the northern regions of India. Although it is mostly consumed raw, coconut’s nectar and flesh also make it a key ingredient in various South Indian dishes. 

Jackfruit: This versatile vegetable can be enjoyed unripe or ripe. Ripe jackfruit offers antioxidants and vitamins, while unripe jackfruit provides a meaty texture in vegetarian dishes.

Exquisite and Rare Nutritional Delights: Last but not least, this category will take you through some of the rare, expensive superfoods that are worth every penny that you spend on them. 

Saffron: Found in the northernmost region of India, i.e., Kashmir, saffron adds a luxurious touch to many dishes and drinks while boasting anti-inflammatory and mood-boosting properties. Due to its scarcity, saffron is one of the most duplicated superfoods. Purchase saffron only from a reliable dealer. 

Black Rice: A nutty-flavored rice rich in antioxidants and fiber and known for its longevity-promoting properties.

Ashwagandha: This powerful herb is an adaptogen that helps the body manage stress and improve stamina.

In the big picture, embracing India's diverse superfoods offers a treasure trove of health benefits while remaining kind to your wallet. From readily available lentils and greens to hidden gems like millets and amla, these culinary powerhouses pack a punch of nutrients without the hefty price tag of imported trends. So, explore the vibrant flavors of India, nourish your body with local abundance, and discover that superfoods don't have to be exotic or expensive.

Recipe: Dog Porridge

Posting this translated recipe from Finnish in English. If you appreciate the translation, please consider tipping via PayPal.

The recipe listed here is a derivative of a popular Finnish recipe of home-made dog food ”Yrjölän puuro” [trans. Finnish: “Yrjölä’s Porridge”] developed during the 1950s by J.A.U Yrjölä, a judge, a former Chairman of Finnish Kennel Club’s Board of Directors and a chairman of Suomen Rottweileryhdistys ry.

Adapted from and with permission from the Rovaseudun Pystykorvakerho ry:

Ingredients

1 litre of water

1 ts of salt

1 dL of powdered milk

½ dL short-grain rice (eg. sushi rice, Arborio, or Nordic pudding rice)

½ dl whole pearl barley

½ dL whole millet groats

½ dL whole buckwheat groats (eg. kasha)

300 – 500 g ground pork and beef

2 — 3 carrots, grated

Instructions

Grease the baking pan with margarine

Add a litre of water to the pan

Add salt and powdered milk

Add rice, grains, ground meat and grated carrots

Mix the ingredients in the pan

Place the pan in the oven and bake at 200°C for 1 ½ to 2 hours

Cool the porridge and place them aside in containers as single-serving portions

Freeze for later

Conversions

1 L is 10 dL, 4.2 US cups or 34 fl. oz

1 dL is 100 mL, 0.42 US cup or 3.4 fl. oz

100 g is 3.5 oz

200°C is 392°F

This recipe is fairly easy to make and is a time-tested one. Yrjölä’s Porridge is one of the most popular recipes for dogs in Nordic countries and readily available in many grocery stores in the frozen or refrigerated sections for only a few dollars.

The nutrient profile for this one has not been translated yet, but nevertheless fairly easy one to make and can be adjusted.  During working season, it might be wise to have very fatty cuts; and during the off-season, lean cuts. The reason for using this recipe is because a previous dog did well with Acana for the first year and a half of his life before Champion Petfoods changed the formula as the result of the gluten-free or grain-free trend. The problem with the changes in ingredients is that he couldn’t digest starches from tubers such as potatoes and yams. Unfortunately, tubers are very common as binders in dog kibbles, and the brands which still use rice or other grains were difficult to come by or were low-quality. There are many more home-made recipes available in K9 Kitchen and Optimal Nutrition by Monica Segal. Familiarize yourself with the Association of American Feed Control Officials’s guidelines as well as European Pet Food Industry Federation and the National Research Council’s. Most recipes out there will lead to long-term deficiencies and owners won’t recognize the symptoms.

Top 5 Common Misconceptions about Millets

Millets have gained much hype recently because of nutritious and sustainable sources of food. Being a staple in traditional diets across Africa and Asia over thousands of years, many myths have continued to surround these ancient -grains, which even enthusiastic adopters of their health and sustainability benefits would be guilty of perpetuating. Here, the top 5 most common myths surrounding Millets get debunked, revealing interesting truths to bring out good reasons why these grains deserve a space in your pantry.

1. Millets are only for Gluten Sensitive People

One of the common myths connected to these Millets are that it's only required for gluten intolerant (celiac) people.

Yes, Millets are naturally gluten-free and best suited to gluten sensitive people but the benefits do not end here.

These tiny Super-grains are rich in fiber, vitamins, & minerals and have a low glycemic index that can help stabilize blood sugar levels and promote good health owing to their high nutrient content. Tiny Millets add nutritional benefits to the diet whether you're gluten-sensitive or not.

2. Millets are inferior to rice and wheat in nutritional value

Millets are said to be somehow inferior in nutrition compared to the more popular grains like rice and wheat. Well, that is a whole lie because Millets happen to be nutritionally dense, often even surpassing rice and wheat for certain nutrients.

For Instance -

Millets have a much higher fiber content than white rice or refined wheat. They happen to be high in the micro-nutrients like iron, magnesium, phosphorus, and B group of vitamins.

A great food for bone strength, as ragi or finger millet is loaded with calcium.

Millets, along with healthy fats, are rich in proteins and antioxidants.

3. Millets are very hard to cook and include in meals

However, most people have the notion that cooking Millets is quite complicated or that it requires some special technique. The notion discourages people from getting the grains. Millets are as simple to cook as rice and quinoa.

Some of the ways through which you can add Millets to your meals include:

Millets can be the base for salads or grain bowls.

Substitute Millets for rice or wheat and make porridge or pulao or upma and so on.

Use Millets in soups, stews, even while baking.

Millets cook pretty fast too and with a little experimentation, you will discover that Millets are as versatile and convenient as any other grain.

4. Millets taste bland and unpalatable

Another robust cause for people to opt for their food items is taste. And another typical myth about Millets is that they taste bland and insipid. This is because most people are not aware of the various kinds of Millets and how to prepare them.

Millets of several types - each with a unique flavour profile. For instance:

Foxtail millet has a mildly nutty flavour.

Pearl millet or bajra offers a taste slightly earthy.

Finger millet (ragi) has a stronger, slightly sweet taste.

Millets can soak and enhance the flavour of the meal when prepared with the right spices, herbs, and ingredients. Whether it's a savoury or sweet dish, Millets can easily adapt to suit the individual's taste, so they can never be described as boring.

5. Millets are just another trend and not sustainable

So many trends about super foods lately push the thought of Millets into obscurity as a fad. Yet Millets are far from that: they happen to be some of the most sustainable grains available and have been staples in traditional diets for ages.

Because millets are very resilient, they require much less water and chemical inputs than water-intensive crops like rice. Millets can, therefore, thrive in any harsh region of the area prone to drought and grow well in many different types of soils, making them very important for food security and climate resilience.

Whereas Millets have a shorter time to maturation, this has minimized their negative influence on the environment while delivering guaranteed farm yields to farmers at any time due to poor climatic conditions. Millets are indeed not a fad but a solution to ensuring sustainable agriculture and meeting food security around the globe.

Conclusion: The Truth about Millets is an Acceptable Reality

Millets have been under the shadow of rice and wheat, but thanks to being in the mainstream lately, with the truth of their nutritious worth, sustainability, and versatility, they are getting the accolades they so deeply deserve. Be it diversifying your diet adopting a more sustainable approach to eating or just a new taste, Millets are a nutrient-dense, eco-friendly, and flavourful meal option that easily fleshes into your daily scheme of things.

By eliminating all the above myths, it is well evident that Millets is not only an old grain but also a super food for today which has immense potential. Try them out and realize how small grains can do big magic in your diet and lifestyle.

Connecting Farmers to Markets: The Role of Major Millet Suppliers and Exporters

Millets are increasingly recognized as a vital crop in the fight for global food security. Known for their nutritional benefits and resilience to climate change, millets offer significant opportunities for farmers. However, to harness these opportunities, it's essential to connect farmers to markets effectively. This blog explores the critical role of millets suppliers and the biggest millet exporters in facilitating this connection.

Understanding Millets

Millets encompass various types, including pearl millet, finger millet, and foxtail millet, all of which are rich in essential nutrients. Traditionally cultivated in many regions, these grains have been integral to the diets of various cultures. Despite their advantages, millets have often been overshadowed by more mainstream crops, leading to challenges for farmers.

The Role of Farmers

Farmers cultivating millets face numerous obstacles, such as inadequate access to markets, poor infrastructure, and limited awareness of the health benefits of millets. Organizations and cooperatives play a crucial role in helping these smallholder farmers connect to larger markets. By uniting, farmers can enhance their bargaining power and improve their livelihoods.

The Role of Major Millets Suppliers

Millets suppliers are pivotal in bridging the gap between farmers and markets. These suppliers, including both local and international players, facilitate the distribution of millet from farms to consumers. They play a critical role in ensuring that farmers receive fair prices and have access to the resources needed for production.

One notable example of a major player in the millet supply chain is Eurosun Global. This company exemplifies how efficient supply chain management can benefit farmers and enhance market access for millets.

Biggest Millet Exporters

Identifying the biggest millet exporters is essential for understanding the global millet market. Countries like India, Africa, and the United States are leading exporters of millets, contributing significantly to the global supply chain. These exporters implement strategies to promote millets in international markets, including marketing campaigns and partnerships with local farmers.

The activities of these biggest millet exporters impact local producers by stabilizing prices and increasing demand for their crops. By working closely with suppliers, they can ensure a consistent and reliable market for millet farmers.

Connecting Farmers to Markets

Improving market access for millet farmers is crucial for increasing production and income. Various programs and initiatives focus on facilitating this connection, including market access programs and digital platforms. Technologies like e-commerce and mobile apps allow farmers to reach consumers directly, eliminating intermediaries and maximizing profits.

Moreover, value addition through processing and packaging can significantly enhance the marketability of millets, providing farmers with higher income opportunities. By leveraging these avenues, farmers can better compete in both local and global markets.

Policy and Support Mechanisms

Government policies play an instrumental role in promoting millet production and export. Supportive measures, such as subsidies, trade agreements, and marketing assistance, can bolster the millet supply chain. Additionally, NGOs and international organizations contribute significantly to these efforts, providing resources and training to farmers.

Conclusion

Connecting farmers to markets is essential for the growth of the millet sector. Through collaboration with millets suppliers and the biggest millet exporters, farmers can gain access to lucrative markets, ensuring fair prices for their produce. By investing in these connections and supporting sustainable practices, stakeholders can strengthen the millet supply chain and contribute to global food security.

Better harvest in rice, wheat, millets to fuel record output 2024/09/26 New Delhi, Sept. 25 -- India is set to achieve a record foodgrain production of 332.29 million tonnes (mt) in the 2023-24 July-to-June agricultural year, according to final estimates released by the agriculture ministry on Wednesday. This represents an increase of 2.61 mt from the previous year's total of 329.68 mt. The growth has been attributed to favourable production in key categories such as rice, wheat and millets. While foodgrain production as a whole scaled new highs, pulses and coarse cereals faced challenges in the 2023-24 season. Total pulse production was estimated at 24.25 mt, with tur (pigeon pea) at 3.42mt and gram at 11.04 mt. The low production of pulses is expected to lead to an increase in imports, as the average annual consumption of pulses in the country is estimated at 27 mt. Mint reported on 4 September that despite record sowing of pulses during the kharif season, India's goal of becoming self-reliant in pulses by 2027 seems to be slipping out of reach, as production has continued to decline from 27.3 mt in FY22 to 26 mt in FY23. The Indian agricultural year, or crop year, straddles two main seasons-kharif (sown during monsoon, harvested in autumn) and rabi (sown in winter, harvested in spring). Bad weather-specifically drought-like conditions in Maharashtra and prolonged dry spells in Rajasthan in August-affected the output of pulses, coarse cereals, soybean and cotton, especially during the rabi season. Rice production in 2023-24 set a record at 137.83 mt, an increase of 2.07 mt (or 1.52%) from 135.76 mt in the previous year. Wheat production also reached a new high at 113.29 mt-2.74 mt higher (or 2.48%) than the 110.55mt produced in 2022-23, the data showed. A good harvest of rice and wheat is crucial for maintaining food security for the country's population of over 1.4 billion. The production of millets has gained attention in recent years due to its resilience to climatic challenges and its nutritional value. For the 2023-24 season, millet production is estimated at 17.57 mt, slightly up from the previous year's 17.32 mt, the data showed. In 2023-24, oilseed production also grew significantly, with total output estimated at 39.67 mt. Rapeseed and mustard reached a record production of 13.26 mt. Oilseed crops soybean and groundnut were estimated at 13.06 mt and 10.18mt respectively. Sugarcane, a critical cash crop for millions of farmers across the country, was estimated at 453.16 mt. While sugarcane production has remained relatively stable, the crop's water-intensive nature has led to increased scrutiny and calls for more sustainable agricultural practices, especially in water-scarce regions. Cotton, another key component of India's agricultural economy, was estimated at 32.52 million bales (weighing 170 kg each), while jute and mesta production is pegged at 9.69 million bales (weighing 180 kg each). Both cotton and jute are essential to India's textile industry, providing raw materials for domestic manufacturing as well as exports. Similarly, total production of nutri/coarse cereals was estimated at 56.94 mt, with maize accounting for 37.67 mt. Coarse cereals, which include crops like sorghum, pearl millet and finger millet, are important for food security in arid and semi-arid regions, but their production was hampered by the drought-like conditions in some states.

Why are millets called the future of food?

Once considered an ancient grain, millets have made a remarkable comeback in recent years. With growing awareness around health, sustainability, and food security, millets have become a staple in many households worldwide. These small, resilient grains are not just a dietary choice but are increasingly being seen as the food of the future. But why is there so much buzz around millets? Let’s dive into the reasons behind their growing popularity and why they are being hailed as the future of food.

1. Nutritional Powerhouse

One of the main reasons millets are gaining popularity is their exceptional nutritional profile. Millets are packed with essential nutrients like fiber, protein, vitamins, and minerals. They are also gluten-free, making them an excellent option for individuals with gluten sensitivities or those seeking to avoid gluten in their diets. Varieties like pearl millet, finger millet, and sorghum are rich in calcium, iron, magnesium, and antioxidants, which support heart health, improve digestion, and help control blood sugar levels.

In a world where people are more health-conscious, millets provide a wholesome alternative to refined grains like white rice and wheat. They are perfect for people looking to manage their weight, improve digestion, or reduce the risk of lifestyle-related diseases such as diabetes and heart disease.

2. Sustainable and Climate-Resilient Crop

Millets are incredibly resilient to harsh growing conditions, such as drought, poor soil, and erratic weather patterns. As climate change continues to affect agriculture worldwide, crops like millets offer a sustainable solution. Unlike water-intensive crops like rice and wheat, millets require significantly less water, making them an eco-friendly alternative. They can grow in arid, marginal lands and still yield nutritious grains, which is crucial in regions facing water shortages or challenging farming conditions.

With global concerns about food security and the need for sustainable farming practices, millets stand out as a reliable crop for the future. Their ability to thrive in difficult climates makes them an essential part of the global food system, especially as environmental challenges continue to rise.

Conclusion

Millets are more than just a healthy food trend; they are a sustainable, climate-resilient, and nutritious choice for the future. They can provide essential nutrients while being environmentally friendly positions them as a key player in the fight against food insecurity. As more people become aware of the benefits of millet, their place in the global diet will only continue to grow. In a world facing climate change and increasing health concerns, millets truly represent the future of food.
