Unpolished Little / Samai Millet

The little millet may be called little but in no means its nutritional content is little. It is a rich source of B-vitamins, minerals like calcium, iron, zinc, potassium among others.  Little millet contains around 5.2 grams of fat with a good content of unsaturated fat that ensures a healthy metabolism and subsequently, a healthy weight loss.  Its high fiber content is yet another advantage making it an ideal replacement for rice in foods like Pongal or even kheer.
