Health Benefits of Abiyam Millet Rava Kesari
01
Better Carbohydrates than Refined Grains
Foxtail, Little, and Barnyard millets are complex carbohydrates with a lower glycemic impact compared to refined rava, helping provide steady energy without sudden sugar spikes.
02
Rich in Dietary Fiber
Millets are naturally high in fiber, which supports digestion, improves satiety, and helps prevent overeating — even in a dessert.
03
Natural Source of Essential Minerals
Millet rava provides iron, magnesium, phosphorus, and B-vitamins, supporting energy metabolism and overall vitality.
04
Dairy-Free & Gut Friendly
Coconut milk makes this Kesari lactose-free, lighter on the stomach, and suitable for people with dairy sensitivity.
05
Heart-Friendly Sweet Treat
Millets are naturally cholesterol-free and low in fat. When paired with coconut milk and controlled sweetness, this becomes a mindful dessert choice.
06
Helps Control Cravings
The combination of fiber, healthy fats (from coconut milk & ghee), and slow-digesting carbs keeps you fuller for longer and reduces post-meal cravings.
