Why Kodo Millet is Unique
- High Antioxidant Levels: Kodo is exceptionally high in polyphenols and antioxidants, which help fight inflammation and cellular damage more aggressively than many other grains.
- The “Weight Loss” Grain: It has one of the highest fiber contents among millets (~10g per 100g), making it excellent for shedding stubborn fat around the waist and hips.
- Lecithin Content: It is rich in Lecithin, which is vital for strengthening the nervous system.
Health Benefits
- Diabetes Management: Like Foxtail, it has a low Glycemic Index (GI), but Kodo is specifically noted for its ability to lower glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels over time.
- Heart Health: Its high fiber and low fat content help reduce “bad” (LDL) cholesterol and keep blood pressure in check.
- Kidney & Liver Support: In traditional medicine, Kodo is often used to help with kidney disorders and to detoxify the liver.
- Wound Healing: Interestingly, Kodo millet flour is used in some traditional cultures as a paste to help heal external wounds faster.
