Are you reaping the health benefits of millet-based food products? Are you checking its ingredients?
Millet food products containing ingredients like refined wheat, refined sugar, refined oil may defeat the purpose of consumption to be healthy. Also, to increase the shelf life and improve the taste these food products may be added with chemicals & preservatives. Millet products ingredients should be looked at before making a purchase.
The mention of refined wheat means it is maida and should not be misunderstood for whole wheat flour. Check the label on which type of flour was used to make the products. Label listing ingredients like specific type of Millet, Multigrain millets, Whole wheat are better choice. If you prefer gluten free then avoid whole wheat.
It is important to check what kind of sugar is used. White sugar may lead to health issues like tooth cavities, obesity, fatigue. There are also other forms of sugar like liquid glucose, invert sugar syrup, corn syrup which can spike up the insulin fast making it dangerous for diabetics. Read the label to check the form of sugar used for sweetness. More natural form like jaggery, raw/brown sugar, palm sugar, honey, dates are healthier options.
Refined oil transformed through hydrogenated process to solid state called dalda or vanspati are bad for health as they contain artificially produced trans fats. Products made using cold pressed oils or butter are safest choice though expensive. Check the label to be free from chemicals like artificial additives, preservatives, artificial colors or flavors.
Understand the ingredients used and choose that can have a good health benefit.
