• Diabetes Control: It is gluten-free and helps in controlling diabetes and blood sugar because of its low glycemic index and polyphenol content.

Kodo millet is gluten-free. While uncommon as an allergen, Kodo millet contains group-specific storage proteins that can cross-react with other millets and cereals (except rice). Individuals with pre-existing grain allergies should exercise caution.

• Soaking: Before cooking, rinse and soak the millet for 4-6 hours to reduce antinutrients and improve digestibility.

• Cooking: Cook one part Kodo millet with two parts water, simmer until soft, and use as desired.

• Dishes: It can be cooked like rice for use in pulao, khichdi, or as a plain grain with curries. It is popular for making idli, dosa, and upma.
