Proso Millet (Cheena)

Also known as: Cheena, Chena, Barri, Baragu, Common millet.

Botanical name: Panicum miliaceum.

Proso millet is a small, round, naturally gluten-free grain that comes in cream, yellow and red varieties. It is grown in Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra, depending on the source.

Trutone Agro cleans and grades proso millet to the buyer's specification, [for food use and bird feed].

Applications

• Flour for flatbreads, bakery and multigrain blends

• Snacks, extruded products and porridge mixes

• Gluten-free product ranges [subject to your segregation statement]

• Animal, poultry and bird feed [only if you supply feed grade]

Origin and sourcing: Sourced from [Rajasthan and other states you actually buy from]. Trutone's plant is in Jaipur, in the largest producing state.

Handling note: Pearl millet has a higher fat content than other millets, so milled flour turns rancid faster than whole grain. Buyers who mill should plan for shorter storage of flour. Whole grain stores longer when moisture is kept at or below the specification.
