Process technology for RTE Millet based Health Mixture

Background

Current health mixes based on rice, wheat, or oats have several issues. They often contain low dietary fiber and have a high glycemic index, which can lead to rapid blood sugar spikes and reduced satiety. Wheat-based mixes are unsuitable for those with gluten intolerance or celiac disease, while some contain lactose, limiting use for lactose-intolerant individuals. Additionally, many commercial mixes include added sugars and preservatives, diminishing their health value. These products also lack the nutritional diversity offered by millets and have a higher environmental impact due to resource-intensive cultivation. Millet-based mixes address these issues with better nutrition, sustainability, and inclusivity.

 Technology Details

Compared to rice, wheat, or oat-based health mixes available in the market, millet-based mixes provide superior nutrition, offering higher levels of dietary fiber, protein, and essential minerals like iron and calcium. Their low glycemic index supports better blood sugar control, and being naturally gluten-free, they are ideal for individuals with gluten intolerance or celiac disease. Millets are also resilient crops that thrive in harsh climates, promoting sustainable agriculture and food security. With increasing demand for healthy and convenient foods, millet-based health mixes offer a nutrient-rich, ready-to-eat solution that meets modern dietary needs while preserving traditional food systems.
