Millet Snacks – The Ancient Grain Fuelling Healthy Modern Snacking
Discover why millets are the new super grain for healthy snacking. Learn about their benefits and how we use them to create nutritious millet namkeen.

Rethink Your Snacks: From Fried Junk to Functional Foods

Snacking is no longer just about flavour—it’s about function. People today are reading labels, counting nutrients, and seeking out options that don’t just taste good, but also support their health goals.
Enter millets—the ancient Indian grains that are now powering a modern snacking revolution.
At Grainguru, we’ve gone back to our roots to bring you Millet Namkeen that’s not only crunchy and flavourful but also genuinely nourishing.

What Are Millets?

Millets are small-seeded grains that have been grown in India for thousands of years. They’re droughtresistant, eco-friendly, and incredibly nutrient-dense.
Common types of millets we use include:

  • Ragi (Finger Millet): Rich in calcium and great for bones
  • Jowar (Sorghum): High in antioxidants and gluten-free
  • Bajra (Pearl Millet): Loaded with fibre and good for heart health
  • Foxtail Millet: Light, easily digestible, and low in carbs

Health Benefits of Millets

Millets are often called “smart carbs” because they release energy slowly and don’t spike blood sugar
levels. Here’s why they deserve a place in your snack bowl:

  • Gluten-Free: Safe for people with wheat allergies or sensitivities
  • High in Fiber: Keeps you full longer and aids digestion
  • Rich in Protein: Supports muscle health and growth
  • Low Glycaemic Index: Helps control blood sugar levels
  • Packed with Micronutrients: Iron, magnesium, B-vitamins, and more

Millets in Indian Tradition

Long before quinoa or chia took over health food stores, Indian kitchens were already cooking with millets.
From ragi mudde in Karnataka to bajre ki roti in Rajasthan, millets have been part of our diet for generations.
We’ve taken that legacy forward and reimagined it in a modern avatar—ready-to-eat millet namkeen that’s
light, flavourful, and good for you.

  • No preservatives, no maida, no white sugar

    taste buds without the junk.
