Dudhmogra is a traditional variety of sorghum, known as jwari in Marathi, cultivated in parts of Maharashtra. Sorghum is a dryland crop well suited to rainfed farming systems and has long been part of regional agriculture. Farmers associated with Kalsubai Millets grow this sorghum using natural farming practices without chemical fertilisers or synthetic pesticides.
In Maharashtrian households, sorghum flour is widely used to prepare jowar bhakri, a staple flatbread eaten with vegetables, dal, or chutneys. The flour can also be used in multigrain flatbreads or traditional preparations where sorghum flour is mixed with other grains for everyday cooking.
According to the Indian Food Composition Tables (ICMR-NIN), sorghum is a source of carbohydrates, dietary fibre, and plant protein. These nutrients include naturally occurring carbohydrates, fibre, and protein present in cereal grains. [VERIFY: ICMR-NIN micronutrient data for sorghum]
Choosing flour made from naturally grown sorghum means the grain is sourced directly from farmers rather than large commercial supply chains. At Kalsubai Millets, the crop is cultivated without chemical fertilisers or synthetic pesticides and processed into flour with minimal handling. Buying through a farmer producer company supports farmer incomes while maintaining transparency about sourcing.
