Millets are healthy and easy on the pocket too, win win. I rotated foxtail, ragi and normal rice. Simple home food kept my diet balanced without spending much.

I added millets to keep meals wholesome and filling. Felt lighter than rice for me actually. Good source of fibre, just dont eat only one thing, mix it up.

We use foxtail millet a lot at home, my mother often made it for me. Its light and good for digestion. In moderation its lovely, just keep your diet varied as your doctor suggests.
