More Details

Jowar (Sorghum bicolor) is a cereal grain cultivated in dryland farming systems and is known for its ability to grow in low rainfall and high temperature conditions. It is considered a hardy crop suitable for rainfed agriculture and marginal soils. The grain used to make jowar thin poha is grown using natural farming practices without chemical fertilisers or pesticides. Source: FAO

Jowar thin poha is made by processing jowar grain into thin flattened flakes that cook very quickly. The thin flakes soften easily when soaked or lightly cooked and are suitable for quick grain-based preparations. It can be prepared in a similar way to thin rice poha for breakfast or light meals.

According to the Indian Food Composition Tables (ICMR-NIN), jowar is a source of carbohydrates and also contains protein, dietary fibre, and minerals such as iron. These nutrients are naturally present in the grain and remain part of the flakes after processing. Source: Indian Food Composition Tables (ICMR-NIN)

Choosing naturally grown jowar thin poha means the grain is produced without synthetic fertilisers or pesticides and processed without large-scale industrial refining. Buying directly from farmers supports traditional grain cultivation and dryland farming systems.
