                                Over 6,000 years ago, millets were among the first crops to be cultivated, and today the name moriya flour refers to the gluten-free flour derived from the barnyard millet. Known by various names across India, this ancient grain has resurfaced in modern cuisine due to its impressive nutritional profile and versatility. It is particularly popular during fasting periods in India and serves as a healthy alternative to wheat and rice.
