Foxtail or Italian Millet called Thinai in Tamil is one of
the forgotten grains that belong to the old Tamil culture. Foxtail millet is a
grass that grows in a warm climate and is more environmentally friendly as it
requires very less water for cultivation in comparison to rice.
It is a staple food of South India and a perfect substitute
for healthy diets. Foxtail millet is called Korra in Telugu, Navane in Kannada,
Kangni in Hindi, and Kang in Marathi. It can be cooked just like rice and
millet recipes are easy to cook. They are available in the form of rice,
semolina and as flour.
Foxtail millet is gluten free and very easy to digest. Its
high anti-oxidant activity removes acidic element away from the body. Being
highly nutritious for children and adults, it acts a great energy source. It is
rich in fiber content and minerals like protein, iron, calcium, potassium,
magnesium, zinc. Enriched with vitamin B 6, it helps in the regulation of the
healthy nervous system. It helps to control blood sugar levels and is known for
its low glycemic index. Its high protein content, when combined with legumes,
makes it a perfect substantial addition to a vegetarian diet.
One of the finest health benefits of foxtail millets is its
benefit for the heart health. Foxtail millets have the ability to regulate as
well as lower the levels of blood sugar of the body(5); and this in turn
reduces the chances of blockages in the heart, which causes cardiac arrest. Heart
attacks occur because the heart’s arterial walls get blocked. Low content of
sugar in the blood lowers such risks of blockages thus improving heart health.
Foxtail millets could also be its benefit in preventing
