Little Millet (Sanwa) is a versatile and highly nutritious small millet widely used in traditional Indian cooking. Known for its delicate texture and mild taste, Sanwa is rich in dietary fiber, iron, magnesium, and B-complex vitamins. It is gluten-free and has a low glycemic index, which helps regulate blood sugar levels and supports digestive health. Often used during fasting periods (vrat), Sanwa cooks quickly and can be prepared as a substitute for rice, or used in khichdi, upma, kheer, and even rotis. Its adaptability to dry climates and low resource needs make it a sustainable choice for modern, health-conscious diets.

Storage
Use Airtight Containers
- Store in airtight glass, stainless steel, or food-grade plastic containers.
- Avoid storing in jute or cloth bags for long periods, especially in humid climates.
Store in a Cool, Dry Place
- Keep away from direct sunlight and moisture.
Avoid Cross-Contamination
- Store different types of grains separately.
- Don’t mix old and new stock to prevent pest transfer.
Use Natural Pest Repellents
- Add dried neem leaves, bay leaves, or cloves to containers to naturally deter insects.
- You can also use ash or diatomaceous earth in small amounts for long-term storage (ensure food-safe quality).
Regular Checks
- Inspect containers monthly for signs of insects, moisture, or spoilage.
Sun-dry grains again if needed, especially in humid months.
First In, First Out (FIFO)
- Always use older grains first to maintain freshness and reduce waste.
