Jowar Flour

Jowar ( (Jowar ka Atta / Sorghum Flour / Jola Flour) flour is made by grinding small round grains of Jowar (white millet). When the Jowar is ripe and ready to be harvested, the plants are cut and tied in bundles and allowed to dry.

The bundles are threshed to separate the grains. The grains are then cleaned, washed, dried and then processed into flour.

Note: We prepare fresh Flour only on order.
