Tag: Poor man s food

Pearl millet, or bajra, is an ancient grain cultivated for over 4,000 years, prized for its ability to thrive in harsh, arid climates. This resilience, coupled with its affordability, led to a historical perception that belies its exceptional nutritional profile and current status as a superfood.

A single jackfruit tree can yield up to 3 tons of this massive fruit per year, providing an almost miraculous source of nourishment and income for people in tropical regions. It is this abundance, coupled with its nutritional density and low cost, that has earned jackfruit the title of the fruit known as the poor man's food.
