Thinai flakes, also known as “Foxtail flakes" are made from Thinai millet (or foxtail millet), a highly nutritious grain that has been sand roasted and flattened into flakes, similar to traditional poha. Thinai millet is one of the oldest cultivated grains in the world, known for its high fiber content, low glycemic index, and rich nutritional profile, which includes proteins, vitamins, and minerals.
Thinai flakes are a healthy alternative to regular rice flakes or poha and are often used in breakfast dishes, snacks, and salads. They offer a slightly nutty flavor and a light, crisp texture when cooked. These flakes are gluten-free, making them an excellent choice for those with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease.
