Description

About

Known as Sanwa rice, barnyard millet takes its familiar name from the rice-like appearance of the grains once the husk is removed. Grown in the hilly regions of Northern India, it features in traditional festive meals, including those enjoyed during fasting. These whole, unpolished grains are farmed using natural methods without chemicals or pesticides. Keep a pack handy when you fancy a change from everyday rice or want to bring a time-honoured ingredient to the table.

How to use

For best results, soak the grains for 8–10 hours, then drain and discard the soaking water. Cook according to the instructions on the pack. Serve as a rice alternative with your favourite curries and dals, or try it in other familiar dishes.
