Bajra is the most iron-rich grain in the Indian kitchen. It is also the hardiest - it grows where almost nothing else will, on 300- 500 mm of rain, in soil and heat that would kill rice or wheat.

Small, round, grey-white grains with a warm, nutty flavour. Ours are grown organically and left unpolished, so the bran layer stays on the grain.

Also known as: sajje (Kannada), kambu (Tamil), sajjalu (Telugu), bajra (Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, Rajasthani), bajri.

The Most Iron-Rich Grain In Your Kitchen At 8mg of iron per 100g, bajra carries more iron than any other common Indian grain:

Iron from plants is non-haem iron, which the body absorbs less readily than iron from meat. Absorption improves substantially when it is eaten alongside vitamin C.

Which is why bajra roti has always been served with raw onion and green chilli in Rajasthan, and with a tomato preparation elsewhere. The tradition arrived at the science on its own.

At 3.1mg per 100g, bajra also provides 28% of your daily zinc - unusual in a plant food, where zinc is normally locked up by phytic acid.

If you have a medical condition or specific dietary requirements, consult your doctor or a qualified healthcare professional before making significant changes to your diet.

Ayurvedic texts classify bajra as ushna virya - warming. Traditional food culture across Rajasthan, Gujarat and northern Karnataka eats bajra through the cold months, roughly October to February, and sets it aside in summer.

There is a plain reason behind the custom. At 361 kcal per 100g, bajra is the most calorie-dense of all the millets, and its higher fat content (5g per 100g, against ragi's 1.3g and jowar's 1.9g) releases energy slowly and generates more metabolic heat during digestion.

That density is not a drawback. For farmers, for manual work, for growing children, and for anyone who needs sustained energy in cold weather, it is precisely the point.
