Pearl Millet (Bajra) is one of the oldest cultivated grains, known for its resilience in hot, dry climates and poor soil conditions. It is a powerhouse of nutrition, offering high levels of iron, magnesium, phosphorus, and dietary fiber. Bajra is gluten-free and has a low glycemic index, making it an excellent choice for people with diabetes and those seeking a healthy alternative to wheat or rice. Commonly used in flatbreads, porridges, and fermented foods, Bajra not only supports digestive health but also provides sustained energy. Its role in food security and climate-resilient agriculture makes it a vital crop in many parts of the world.

Storage
Use Airtight Containers

Store in a Cool, Dry Place

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)
