Finger millet, or mandua, is a Himalayan superfood making a comeback in tribal farms across Uttarakhand. Grown traditionally by hand in rainfed fields, this nutrient-packed grain is high in calcium, iron, and protein, offering a resilient answer to malnutrition and climate change.
Farmers in remote villages, like those in Gallakot, use non-GMO seeds and organic compost, avoiding machines and chemicals to maintain soil fertility. These methods, passed down through generations, not only yield a crop that’s good for you but also protect the fragile Himalayan ecosystem.
We’re committed to supporting these farmers as they revive finger millet, ensuring sustainable harvests and healthier plates. Stay tuned for our upcoming millet-based products and learn how you can join the movement.
