Millets
Shree anna
Ancient, naturally gluten-free grains from India's dryland farms. We supply pearl millet from Rajasthan, finger millet from Karnataka, sorghum from Maharashtra and smaller millets, machine-cleaned and sorted to export grade.
Sourced from Rajasthan, Karnataka and Maharashtra
Where it comes from
Millets grow with little water on India's dry plateaus, which is why Rajasthan, Karnataka and Maharashtra lead production. They are naturally gluten-free and high in fibre, and demand from health-food and gluten-free brands has grown steadily.
Grain is cleaned, destoned, graded and sorted before packing. Flours are milled fresh to order, and every lot is checked for moisture and foreign matter.
