A gluten-free, protein- and mineral-rich porridge full of health!

Millet groats, also known as jaggery, are a type of porridge made from the grains of millet (Panicum miliaceum). Millet is one of the oldest cultivated cereals in the world and has a rich history of consumption in various cultures.

Millet groats are characterised by small, round grains with a creamy colour. It has a delicate, slightly nutty flavour and a pleasant, fluffy texture when cooked. It is often used as a healthy alternative to traditional cereals such as rice or wheat.

Buckwheat groats are easy to prepare. Before cooking, it is usually advisable to rinse the grains thoroughly to remove any impurities. The groats are then cooked in a ratio of one part groats to two parts water for about 15-20 minutes, until the grains are soft and all the water has been absorbed.
