Conscious Food Kodo Millet (Varagu Rice)

Kodo Millet, also known as Varagu rice or kodra in Hindi, has been a staple in the southern part of India for centuries. Millets, a group of highly variable small-seeded grasses, are widely grown around the world as cereal crops/grains. With a short growing season, millets can develop from planted seeds to mature, ready-to-harvest plants in as little as 65 days. By incorporating millets into your diet, you support sustainable cropping practices and biodiversity, encouraging farmers in dry land areas to grow crops best suited for those regions.
