Gluten-free: Jowar is naturally gluten-free, which makes it an excellent grain choice for individuals with gluten intolerance or celiac disease. 2. Supports weight loss: Being high in dietary fibre, jowar helps promote a feeling of fullness, which can aid in controlling appetite and supporting weight loss efforts. 3. Manages blood sugar levels: Jowar has a low glycemic index, meaning it causes a slower and more gradual rise in blood sugar levels, making it suitable for people with diabetes. 4. Strengthens bones: It is rich in calcium and phosphorus, both of which are essential for maintaining healthy bones and preventing conditions like osteoporosis. 5. Nutrient dense: Jowar contains a variety of essential nutrients, including antioxidants, iron, magnesium and B vitamins, which contribute to overall health and well-being.
