About this Product
Roodi Food Unpolished Positive Millet Flakes are prepared from individual millets using minimal processing. Each millet is soaked and flattened without polishing, helping retain its original grain character.
Designed for everyday cooking, these flakes offer a convenient way to include traditional millets in modern meals without relying on refined grains or additives.
Traditional Context
Historically, beaten grains were the ultimate “travel food” in India—lightweight, easy to store, and quick to rehydrate. Millets, once the backbone of regional Indian agriculture, were traditionally flaked to provide a sustaining meal for farmers and travelers alike.
Nutritional Nature
Millet flakes provide carbohydrates from whole grains, along with naturally occurring fibre, protein, and minerals.

Detailed Description
Roodi Food’s Unpolished Positive Millet Flakes, also called Poha or Beaten Rice, bring ancient grains into your modern kitchen. Made from single, unmixed, unpolished millets, these flakes retain the natural fiber, protein, minerals, and subtle flavor of the whole grain.
Because the grains are pre-soaked and gently flattened, they cook quickly — perfect for breakfast, snacks, or light meals — while keeping the nutrition intact. Each millet variety carries its own character, offering a nourishing, grounding start to your day.
