The Millet Revolution
Once considered humble village grains, millets have made a powerful comeback in the global food scene. From health-conscious consumers in Europe to eco-driven brands in the U.S., these ancient Indian grains are now at the heart of a global nutritional revolution
At Namaste Export, we’re proud to be at the forefront of this movement—delivering sustainably grown, export-quality millets to the world.
What Are Millets?
Millets are small-seeded grains that have been cultivated in India for thousands of years. They are naturally gluten-free, highly nutritious, and require minimal water to grow, making them a climate-resilient crop.
Popular millet types we export:
- Foxtail Millet – Rich in protein & fiber
- Little Millet – Ideal for weight loss diets
- Barnyard Millet – High in iron & calcium
- Kodo Millet – Diabetic-friendly and easy to digest
- Pearl Millet (Bajra) – Energy-boosting winter grain
- Finger Millet (Ragi) – Great source of calcium & amino acids
Why Millets Are Gaining Global Attention

Millets are packed with essential nutrients:
- High in dietary fiber
- Low glycemic index (supports diabetes management)

2. Sustainability
Unlike rice and wheat, millets:
- Grow in arid soil with little water
