Lets know the benefit we receive by including Bajra (pearl millet) in our diet. Bajra is an essential part of the winter diet. Apart from its warming nature, it is a high source of iron, protein, fibre and it helps in better absorption of nutrition. It is rich in magnesium, which helps keep the heart healthy. It has potassium, which dilates blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily. This helps reduce overall blood pressure. Bajra also has fibre that helps reduce LDL, or bad, cholesterol.
