Varagu / Kodo millet is an annual grain that is grown in primarily in India. Kodo millet has a large potential to provide nourishing food. Kodo millet is very easy to digest, it contains a high amount of lecithin and is excellent for strengthening the nervous system, rich in B vitamins, especially niacin, B6 and folic acid, as well as the minerals such as calcium, iron, potassium, magnesium and zinc.

We are a big fan of rice noodles. This time I bought Varagu / Kodo Millet Noodles. The pack is free from MSG and also has a tastemaker in it. Varagu noodles were soft and light for the stomach. The tastemaker came along with this noodles pack was not too spicy.
