Now is the world of superfoods. Many urban and semi-urban residents have brought a major transformation in their eating habits by replacing cereals with Millets due to many reasons like low calorie, high fibre content and nutritive value.
Due to sedentary lifestyle and busy schedules many of us hardly find time to do any form of physical activity, because of which many professionals are being diagnosed with high blood sugar, and cholesterol levels at a very young age which are quite detrimental over a period of time, so many professionals are avoiding high-calorie food, thus cereals are being replaced with Millets.
Millets are superfoods. Millets are low in calorie and high in fibre, which keeps blood sugar and cholesterol in control during one’s sedentary lifestyle. Many of us have become conscious about calorie intake, as a result, sweets and desserts are avoided with a heavy heart and thus forced to control our sugar cravings.
The SHGs (Self Help Groups) supported by SERP (Society for Elimination of Rural Poverty) in Andhra Pradesh are into the business of selling Millets (Ragi, Korra, Little millet, Brown millet, Barnyard millet, Kodo millet etc.), Millet Flour (Ragi flour, Korra flour, Bajra flour and little millet flour), Millet Snacks (Foxtail Millet Mixture, Ragi Boondi and Foxtail Murukulu, etc.), Millet Confectionery (Jowar Cake, Korra Cake, Jowar Laddu, Bajra Laddu etc.), and Millet Biscuits (Bajra Biscuits, Ragi Biscuits, Korra Biscuits, etc.).
The SHGs have come up with a variety of jaggery and millet-based sweets and confectionery for calorie-conscious and diabetic people to satisfy their sweet cravings without regrets in a healthy way. Kalgudi platform stalls these products for the SHGs.
Let us all contribute our share of social responsibility with a health benefit by purchasing these from SHGs through Kalgudi platform to uplift & empower rural women and also lead a healthy life which includes superfoods into our regular diet.
