Proso Millet Flour Description (Gaanagam):

At Gaanagam, our Proso Millet Flour is made from finely ground proso millet (Panicum miliaceum), a highly nutritious, gluten-free grain that has been used in traditional diets for centuries. Known as Panivaragu in Tamil, proso millet is a rich source of protein, fiber, and essential nutrients like iron, magnesium, and phosphorus. The mild, nutty flavor and light texture of proso millet flour make it a perfect substitute for wheat and rice flour in a variety of dishes. It is ideal for preparing rotis, dosas, pancakes, and baked goods, offering a wholesome and nutritious option for your daily cooking.
