Notes
- Millets, being rich in antioxidants like quercetin and catechins, neutralize free radicals and control inflammation, which is the root cause of most diseases known today.
- Being a low GI (glycaemic index) grain naturally, millets are digested and absorbed slowly, causing a slower and smaller spike in blood sugar levels.
