The fresh start wellness cafe’s Activated Kodo Millet Flakes are made from Kodo millet , a traditional and nutrient-rich ancient grain cultivated in India for centuries. The “activation” process involves 12 hours of pre-soaking , drying and roasting  the millets, which initiates natural enzymatic activity. This helps break down complex compounds, reduces anti-nutrients like phytic acid, and enhances the bioavailability of nutrients and also helps in easy digestion and easy cooking. Once activated the grains are gently flattened into flakes, making them quick-cooking and easy to incorporate into daily diet.

These flakes retain the nutty flavor and unique texture of Kodo millet while offering an improved nutritional profile, making them a superior alternative to conventional flattened rice or cereal flakes.

Uses

Activated Kodo Millet flakes are versatile and can be used in a variety of healthy preparations:

• Breakfast dishes: Used like poha for making upma, lemon flakes, or vegetable flakes for a hearty, fiber-rich breakfast.

• Healthy snacks: Dry roasted and seasoned to make chivda or mixed with nuts and seeds for a quick snack.

• Porridge: Cooked with milk or water, sweetened naturally for a warm, filling porridge.

• Salads: Lightly steamed flakes can be added to salads for a grainy texture and added nutrition.

• Baking: Incorporated into granola bars, muffins, or health bites.

• Kids’ meals: Mixed with curd, fruit, or jaggery syrup for a child-friendly, nutritious option.
