Description

Moriyo Available in 500g packs.

Long before fasting became a spiritual ritual, moriyo was already a grain. Barnyard millet, known as Moriyo in Gujarat, Sama in North India, Kuthiraivali in Tamil Nadu, and Udalu in Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka, has been cultivated across South Asia for over 3,000 years one of the oldest millets in human history, grown in conditions where no other grain would survive.

It is naturally gluten-free, with a glycemic index of ~50, meaningfully lower than white rice (~72), which supports steadier blood sugar levels and slower, more sustained energy release. It carries nearly three times more dietary fibre than white rice, a good amount of iron, calcium and magnesium that most grains simply don't offer. Light, cooling and easy to digest, Ayurveda classified it as Shyamaka sattvic, balancing and gentle on the gut. It is the only millet that qualifies as a fasting grain during Navratri and Ekadashi, making it irreplaceable in Gujarati and North Indian fasting kitchens for generations.

Since 1965, Angur has been bringing the finest toor dal from the fields of Gujarat to kitchens across the country, growing into a name trusted nationwide as "Guniyal Naari ni Ek Matra Pasand." Today, that same legacy of quality and genuine flavour lives on in every Angur product, from pulses and besan to millets like Angur Moriyo.

Health Benefits of Moriya

Naturally Gluten-Free & Fasting Friendly: Barnyard millet is naturally gluten-free, making it a good choice for people with gluten sensitivity or coeliac disease. It's also one of the few grains traditionally allowed during Navratri and Ekadashi fasting, when regular grains and pulses are avoided.
Helps Keep Blood Sugar Steady: Barnyard millet has a lower glycaemic index (around 50) than white rice or refined wheat. This means it releases energy more slowly, helping avoid sudden spikes in blood sugar. It's a good option for people with diabetes, prediabetes or anyone trying to manage their blood sugar.
High in Fibre: With almost 10g of fibre per 100g, barnyard millet has nearly three times more fibre than white rice. Fibre helps with digestion, keeps your gut healthy, helps you feel full for longer, and may also support healthy cholesterol levels.
A Good Source of Iron: Barnyard millet is naturally rich in iron, providing about 6.2mg per 100g. Iron helps your body make healthy red blood cells and carry oxygen. This makes it especially useful for women, growing children, and people with low iron levels.
Supports Strong Bones & Muscles: It contains calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus minerals that work together to keep your bones strong, support healthy muscles, and help your nerves function properly.
Rich in Natural Antioxidants: Barnyard millet contains natural plant compounds called antioxidants that help protect your body's cells from damage. It also provides important amino acids like lysine and threonine, which are often missing in diets that rely heavily on white rice.
Easy to Digest: In Ayurveda, barnyard millet (known as Shyamaka) is considered light, cooling, and easy to digest. It's traditionally believed to help balance Pitta and is suitable for people of all ages.
