- Activated Little Millet Flour
- Dhatu Organics Activated Little Millet Flour is a nutritious and versatile option made by sprouting little millet grains to enhance their digestibility and nutrient availability. It is gluten-free, rich in fiber, and an excellent source of essential minerals. This flour is ideal for making a variety of recipes like rotis, dosas, pancakes, and baked goods, catering to those seeking wholesome, healthful alternatives in their diet.
- The soaking process of the unpolished little millet grains activates the otherwise dormant grains – several changes occur due to the absorption of water and the initiation of various biochemical processes. Here are the key changes you can observe in soaked seeds and grains:
- Enzyme Activation:Unpolished millets contain dormant enzymes that become active during soaking. These enzymes play a crucial role in breaking down complex compounds within the seed, making nutrients more accessible and aiding in the digestion of the seed itself.
- Release of Enzyme Inhibitors:Enzyme inhibitors present in raw millets are often released during soaking. These inhibitors can interfere with digestion and nutrient absorption. Releasing them through soaking makes the seeds more digestible.
- Reduction of Anti-Nutrients:Anti-nutrients, such as phytic acid, are compounds that can bind to minerals and reduce their absorption. Soaking seeds helps to reduce the levels of anti-nutrients, enhancing the bioavailability of minerals like calcium, magnesium, and iron.
- Activation of Nutrient Release:Soaking initiates the breakdown of complex carbohydrates and proteins into simpler forms. This process makes nutrients, such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, more accessible for absorption by the body.
- Increased Water-Soluble Vitamin Content:Soaking can increase the water-soluble vitamin content in seeds. For instance, vitamin C levels may rise as a result of soaking, contributing to the overall nutritional value.
