Foxtail millet, known as Korra in Telugu and Korralu in plural, is an ancient and nutritious grain widely used in South Indian cooking. It is gluten-free, rich in dietary fiber, iron, and protein, making it an excellent choice for people with diabetes or those seeking a healthy diet. With a low glycemic index, it helps control blood sugar levels and supports digestion. Foxtail millet is also a good source of calcium and antioxidants, which strengthen bones and boost immunity. It can be cooked just like rice and used in dishes like upma, pongal, dosa, idli, and even millet biryani. Because of its health benefits and versatility, Korra is becoming a popular alternative to polished white rice in many households.
