From Small Farmers
Freshly stone-ground millet flour from 100% unpolished grains — gluten-free, no preservatives, delivered free across India. Perfect for rotis, dosas, idlis and healthy baking.
Most Indian households depend on wheat atta for daily rotis, but millet flour delivers far superior nutrition. Millets are naturally gluten-free, richer in fiber, and have a significantly lower glycemic index — making them the smarter choice for families managing diabetes, weight, or digestive health.
The difference becomes even more dramatic when you compare millet flour to maida (refined flour), which is stripped of virtually all fiber and nutrients during processing. Switching even one meal a day from wheat to millet flour can meaningfully improve your daily nutrient intake.

Did You Know?
Millet flour has 3–4x more fiber than wheat flour and a 40% lower glycemic index. Studies published in the Journal of Food Science and Technology show that replacing wheat with millets significantly reduces post-meal blood sugar spikes in both diabetic and non-diabetic individuals.
The way flour is milled matters as much as the grain itself. Here is what separates Orggu's stone-ground millet flour from commercial millet flour:

Millet flour goes by different names across South India:
| Language | Word for Flour | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Kannada | Hittu | Navane Hittu (Foxtail flour), Ragi Hittu (Finger millet flour) |
| Tamil | Maavu | Thinai Maavu (Foxtail flour), Kelvaragu Maavu (Ragi flour) |
| Telugu | Pindi | Korralu Pindi (Foxtail flour), Ragula Pindi (Ragi flour) |
Yes. Millet flour has 3–4x more fiber than wheat flour, a lower glycemic index (45–55 vs 71), and is naturally gluten-free. Stone-ground millet atta retains the bran layer, delivering more iron, calcium, and B-vitamins per serving than regular wheat atta.
Stone-ground flour is milled at low speeds using traditional stone grinders. This keeps temperatures low and preserves heat-sensitive nutrients like B-vitamins and antioxidants. Commercial high-speed steel milling generates heat above 120°C, destroying up to 40% of vitamins and denaturing proteins.
Kodo millet flour and Foxtail millet flour are the best choices for diabetics. They have the lowest glycemic index among millets (GI 45–50), release sugar slowly into the bloodstream, and are rich in fiber that slows carbohydrate absorption. Many Orggu customers report improved HbA1c levels within 3 months.
Absolutely. Foxtail millet flour makes the softest rotis among millet flours. Knead the dough with warm water, rest for 10 minutes, and roll slightly thicker than wheat rotis. Start with a 50:50 millet-wheat blend if your family is transitioning, then gradually increase the millet ratio.
Orggu stone-ground millet flour stays fresh for 3–4 months in an airtight container at room temperature. Refrigerate to extend shelf life up to 6 months. Because stone-ground flour retains natural oils from the bran, it is best consumed within 3 months for optimal taste and nutrition.
Yes, all Orggu millet flours are naturally gluten-free, including Foxtail, Kodo, Little, Barnyard, Browntop, Ragi (Finger Millet), Pearl Millet (Bajra), and Sorghum (Jowar) flour.
