 Struggling with bloating or poor digestion? Not all millets are the same. In this video, we dive into the PubMed-backed research on why Kodo and Little Millet are the ultimate "superfoods" for your microbiome. Why Your Gut Loves These Millets: Prebiotic Power: How Kodo millet feeds your Lactobacillus. Resistant Starch: Why Little Millet acts as a "slow-release" fuel for your colon. Anti-Inflammatory: The role of phenolic acids in repairing the intestinal lining.  The Gut Health Champion: Kodo Millet and Little Millet While all millets are beneficial because they are gluten-free and alkaline, clinical research from PubMed and NIH identifies Kodo Millet (Paspalum scrobiculatum) and Little Millet (Panicum sumatrense) as the superior choices for gut healing, specifically for repairing the intestinal lining and feeding the microbiome. 1. The "Fiber Matrix" & Short-Chain Fatty Acids (SCFAs) Gut health depends on the production of Butyrate (a short-chain fat...

Still WATCHING Instant Dosa Recipes | Time to Switch Over to Fermented Batter

Instant dosa saves time but lacks the digestive, nutritional, and gut-health benefits of fermented dosa. Learn why fermentation matters and how it impacts health. Fermented dosa batter undergoes several biochemical changes that offer significant health benefits. During fermentation, lactic acid bacteria and other microbes break down complex starches into smaller fragments, making them easier to digest. Phytic acid, which inhibits mineral absorption, is reduced, and gas-producing oligosaccharides are leached out. As a result, the risk of gas or bloating after eating dosa is greatly lowered. The proteins in urad dal and rice are partially pre-digested by enzymes produced by lactic acid bacteria. This process releases amino acids, making them more readily available. When you eat fermented dosa, your body absorbs essential amino acids more easily, supporting muscle repair and overall metabolism. Fermentation partially hydrolyzes starches into simpler sugars. Lactic acid and acetic acid for...
