A Guide to Millet Flours

Naturally gluten-free and rich in fibre, millets have moved from traditional kitchens to modern menus and retail shelves. Here are the ones worth stocking.

Bajra (pearl millet)

Earthy and wholesome, ideal for winter flatbreads and health mixes.

Ragi (finger millet)

High in calcium and iron, popular in porridges, rotis and baby foods.

Jowar (sorghum) and others

Jowar makes excellent flatbreads and dosas, while foxtail, kodo and little millet suit health blends and gluten-free baking. Al Thai stocks a full millet range in 15 kg packs — see our millet flour category.
