Proso Millet Pasta | High Protein & Easy to Digest

✦ The millet most Indians have never heard of — with protein levels that will genuinely surprise you.

WHAT IS IT?
Proso Millet (chena) Pasta is made from one of the least-known but most nutritionally interesting millets. Proso millet has protein content (~12g per 100g) that is notably higher than most other millets, and it is among the most easily digestible. It is cultivated across Central Asia and has been consumed for over 10,000 years — making it possibly the oldest cultivated millet on earth. As a pasta, it delivers a genuine protein boost in a format everyone already knows how to cook.

• Proso Millet (Chena) Flour — primary; ~12g protein per 100g, B vitamins, phosphorus, easy digestibility
