KORALU (FOXTAIL MILLET)

Description

Koralu, also known as Foxtail Millet, is one of the most ancient and highly nutritious millets widely consumed in South India. Naturally gluten-free and rich in dietary fiber, protein, iron, and magnesium, it is a perfect substitute for polished rice and refined grains.
