If you’ve been searching for a hearty, comforting, and gluten-free meal that’s also easy on the stomach and full of nutrition, Bajra Khichdi might just be the answer your plate has been waiting for. This ancient millet-based dish, traditionally cooked in Indian households during winter, has now become a year-round favorite for wellness enthusiasts, especially those on gluten-free diets or seeking gut-friendly, clean eating options.
But here’s the catch: traditional bajra khichdi requires soaking, slow-cooking, and quite a bit of patience. Not exactly ideal for your work-from-home rush hour or post-gym hunger pangs. That’s where the Sprouted Bajra Khichdi Premix by Truroots by Vrinda comes in—clean, ready-to-cook, and made from sprouted bajra for maximum nutrient absorption. No gluten. No junk. Just soul food, simplified.
So, what makes bajra khichdi such a powerful meal for modern lifestyles—and why is this particular premix the ultimate choice for anyone looking to eat clean? Let’s dive in.
Bajra: The Ancient Grain With Modern Benefits
Bajra, also known as pearl millet, is one of the oldest cultivated grains in the world. Long before quinoa and oats became trendy, bajra was already a staple across Indian kitchens. What sets it apart is not just its ability to grow in dry climates but its dense nutritional profile.
It’s packed with:
- Iron for better oxygen circulation
- Magnesium to support muscle and nerve function
- Fiber that promotes digestion and satiety
- Protein for muscle recovery and energy
- Antioxidants that fight oxidative stress
Most importantly for many people today—it’s naturally gluten-free. Unlike wheat-based meals that often trigger bloating, discomfort, or inflammation for gluten-sensitive individuals, bajra digests slowly and supports a healthier gut.
Why Go for a Sprouted Bajra Premix?
While bajra is incredibly healthy, cooking it from scratch takes time and effort—soaking, boiling, and sometimes fermenting. The Sprouted Bajra Khichdi Premix by Truroots makes this whole process as easy as cooking rice.
Sprouting the bajra not only shortens cooking time but also boosts its nutritional bioavailability. That means more nutrients get absorbed in your body, and it becomes easier to digest. The premix also includes moong dal, making it a well-rounded source of plant-based protein and fiber.
Even better? It’s:
- Ready in minutes
- Made with zero preservatives
- Seasoned mildly so you can customize to your taste
- 100% vegetarian and easy on the gut
Whether you’re trying to eat healthier, switch to gluten-free, or just need something quick after work, this premix delivers.
What Makes It the Perfect Gluten-Free Meal?
1. Easy on Digestion
Gluten-heavy meals often lead to discomfort, sluggishness, or bloating. Bajra, especially in its sprouted form, is easy on the gut and doesn’t cause inflammation. That means you can eat your fill and still feel light and energized.
2. High in Plant-Based Protein
Unlike many gluten-free foods that lack protein, this khichdi is paired with sprouted moong dal to give you a complete amino acid profile. It’s great for anyone following a vegetarian or flexitarian lifestyle.
3. Zero Processing, 100% Clean Ingredients
Many gluten-free alternatives come in the form of heavily processed flours and starches. This premix is different—made from whole grains, sprouted pulses, and real spices. You’re not just going gluten-free; you’re going clean.
4. Versatile for All Lifestyles
You can eat it for:
- Breakfast topped with ghee and crushed peanuts
- Lunch with curd, papad, or pickle
- Dinner with sautéed vegetables or soup
- Post-workout for slow-releasing energy and protein
- Kids’ meals with a spoon of ghee and mild spices
