We all love comfort food. But what if that comfort could come with a side of nutrition? That’s exactly what bajra khichdi delivers—warm, hearty satisfaction with benefits that go beyond taste. It’s gut-friendly, high in fiber, and gluten-free, making it ideal for all ages and lifestyles.
And thanks to Truroots by Vrinda’s Sprouted Bajra Khichdi Premix, you don’t even have to soak, grind, or guess the measurements. Just open, cook, and serve.
What Is Bajra Khichdi?
Bajra khichdi is a traditional millet-based Indian dish made from pearl millet (bajra) and often combined with moong dal, vegetables, and spices. It’s naturally rich in magnesium, iron, and antioxidants, making it perfect for people looking to eat light yet nourishing meals.
But this isn’t your average khichdi—it’s sprouted. Sprouting enhances the bioavailability of nutrients and makes it easier to digest, especially for those with sensitive stomachs.
Key Health Benefits of Bajra Khichdi
1. Boosts Digestive Health
Bajra is naturally high in insoluble fiber, which aids in digestion and supports a healthy gut microbiome.
2. Supports Heart Health
Thanks to its magnesium and potassium content, bajra helps regulate blood pressure and reduces the risk of heart disease.
3. Great for Weight Management
It’s filling, low on the glycemic index, and keeps you satisfied longer—ideal for anyone managing their weight or blood sugar levels.
4. Improves Iron Intake
Sprouted bajra boosts iron absorption, making it an excellent food for anemics and menstruating women.
5. Diabetic-Friendly
Low GI means it doesn’t cause spikes in blood sugar, making it a great meal for those with diabetes or insulin resistance.
