Jowar flour, obtained by milling organic sorghum grain, is a staple flour in Maharashtra that has been used for several generations to prepare bhakri, a thick and wholesome flatbread that constitutes the main meal of rural Maharashtrians, and is also becoming a favourite choice of health-conscious urban people who want to cut down their use of refined wheat flour. The organic jowar flour from Prakritii Organics is stone-ground from naturally grown jowar that has not been sprayed with chemicals, and that has not been treated with synthetic pesticides or artificial fertilisers; furthermore, the flour is produced without the use of bleaching agents or artificial additives. Besides being naturally gluten-free, it is also a very safe and truly healthy flour for people who are gluten intolerant or those who want to add more variety to their daily diet beyond wheat.

Health Benefits & Nutrition

As organic jowar flour is gluten-free by nature, it is a good option among traditional flours that have a high fibre content. In fact, it is a primary source of dietary fibre, which helps maintain digestive health, encourages gut microbiota diversity, and keeps a person feeling full for a longer time after a meal. Apart from being a plant-based protein source, it is also rich in iron, magnesium, phosphorus, and B-vitamins like niacin and thiamine, which collectively render it a better choice for regular consumption of flatbreads as compared to refined wheat flour.
One interesting thing about jowar flour is that it has a significantly lower glycaemic index as compared to refined wheat flour and many other common grain flours. In other words, it leads to a slower release of glucose in the blood, and consequently, a more constant supply of energy without the strong blood sugar spikes after meals typical of refined flours. As far as the antioxidants in jowar are concerned, research has indicated that these substances, such as tannins and phenolic acids, possess anti-inflammatory properties along with an ability to influence cholesterol levels, thereby making jowar a functionally nutritious food over and beyond its basic macro and micronutrient make-up.

How to Use & Storage

Keep the product in a tightly sealed glass or food-grade container, and store the container in a cool, dry, dark place which is far away from moisture and heat.
Since organic jowar flour is a whole grain flour and contains the natural oils present in the grain, it is more perishable than refined white flour.
If you live in a hot area, then putting the jowar flour in a refrigerator inside a sealed container will keep it fresh for a long time.
For the best flavour and nutrients, at room temperature, it is best to consume jowar flour within 2-3 months, whereas when you keep jowar flour in a refrigerator, it is better to consume it within 4-6 months.
Since flour can easily pick up odours, do not keep it near ingredients that have a very strong smell.

Is organic jowar flour gluten-free?

Yes - jowar flour (sorghum flour) is naturally 100% gluten-free as sorghum grain contains no gluten proteins. It is a widely recommended flour alternative for people with gluten intolerance. However, people with coeliac disease should verify that the flour has been processed in a dedicated gluten-free facility to avoid any risk of cross-contamination during milling.

Why does jowar bhakri dough require hot water instead of regular water?

Jowar contains no gluten - the protein that makes wheat dough elastic and easy to shape. Hot water partially gelatinises the starch in jowar flour, creating the binding effect that allows the dough to be shaped into a bhakri. Using cold or room temperature water produces a crumbly dough that cannot be patted into shape properly.

What is the nutritional value of organic jowar flour?

Organic jowar flour is a good source of dietary fibre, plant-based protein, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, and B-vitamins. It has a lower glycaemic index than refined wheat flour, meaning it releases energy more gradually and produces less of a blood sugar spike after meals - a quality relevant for people managing their carbohydrate intake.

How long does organic jowar flour stay fresh after purchase?

Organic jowar flour is a whole grain flour containing natural oils from the grain and should be used within 2–3 months when stored at room temperature in an airtight container. Refrigerating in a sealed container extends freshness to 4–6 months. Unlike refined white flour, whole grain flours like jowar are more perishable and benefit from cool storage.
