Pahari Jhangora (Barnyard Millet)

Pure Himalayan Grain from Uttarakhand

Pahari Jhangora, also known as Barnyard Millet, is a traditional Himalayan grain sourced directly from certified organic farmers in Uttarakhand. Naturally cultivated at altitudes ranging from 400 to 2,100 metres, Jhangora has been a cherished part of the mountain diet for generations.

Light, nourishing, and easy to digest, Jhangora is naturally rich in dietary fibre, plant-based protein, essential minerals, and phosphorus. Its low glycemic index makes it a popular choice for those looking for wholesome, balanced grain options.

The de-husked grains are light brown and oval-shaped, with an appearance similar to quinoa. Traditionally enjoyed during Navratri fasting, Jhangora provides satisfying nourishment while remaining light on the stomach.
