Description of Sanwa Millet Flour, Barnyard Millet Flour
Sanwa Millet is an annual grass cultivated in Japan and southeastern Asia for its edible seeds and for forage; important wildlife food in United States. Sanwa is most commonly red and hard when ripe, and it is usually dried after harvesting for longevity, as the grains are stored whole. The whole grain of sanwa millet may be ground into flour or decorticated before grinding to produce either a fine particle product or flour, which is then used in various traditional foods. The sanwa flour (Barnyard Millet Flour) may be ground coarsely or finely, depending on individual preference and recipe requirement. Sanwa millet is especially valuable as it contains the amino acid methionine, which is lacking in the diets of the poor who live on starchy staples. The long storage capacity makes sanwa millet an important crop in risk-avoidance strategies for poorer farming communities.
How to select
The sanwa flour should be clean, dust free and without any infestations or foul odor. It is better to opt for organic grains, if possible.

" Sanwa flour is made into flatbreads, including thick, leavened dosa and thinner, unleavened pancakes.
