Foxtail Millet
Foxtail Millet (Kangni / Thinai) is a fast-growing, nutrient-dense, and climate-resilient ancient grain traditionally consumed across Asia and increasingly demanded in global health food and animal feed markets. Known for its low glycemic index, easy digestibility, and balanced nutrition, foxtail millet is suitable for both human consumption and animal & poultry feed.
Its uniform grain size, stable quality, and adaptability across food-grade and feed-grade applications make foxtail millet a dependable choice for food processors, feed manufacturers, importers, and bulk buyers worldwide.
Uses
For human consumption, foxtail millet is widely used as a rice substitute, in flour milling, porridges, traditional foods, bakery products, ready-to-cook mixes, breakfast cereals, and gluten-free food formulations.
For animal and poultry feed, foxtail millet is used as an energy-rich ingredient in cattle feed, poultry feed, bird feed, and compound feed formulations due to its good starch content and digestibility.
Its versatility and consistent availability make foxtail millet suitable for both food-grade and feed-grade markets.
