SiriGrains Organic Foxtail Millet Flakes (500g) – Instant Breakfast Cereal | Gluten-Free, Low GI | No Onion No Garlic | Kakum/Navane Flakes

What are Foxtail Millet Flakes?

Foxtail Millet Flakes are made by steaming, rolling, and drying whole organic foxtail millet grains into thin, crisp flakes. Unlike raw millet grains that require soaking and 20 minutes of cooking, these flakes are ready in just 2-3 minutes – just add warm water or milk.

Think of them as a healthy, gluten-free alternative to cornflakes, wheat flakes, or oats. But unlike cornflakes (which are processed with sugar and have a high glycemic index), foxtail millet flakes are naturally low GI (~50), high protein (12g per 100g), and high fiber (8g per 100g).

SiriGrains brings you stone-flaked, organic Foxtail Millet Flakes made from premium organic foxtail millet sourced directly from Karnataka farms. No additives, no preservatives, no compromises. No onion, no garlic – suitable for Jain, sattvic, and fasting diets.
