Bajra or  Pearl Millet is rich in  protein, fibre, phosphorous, magnesium and iron. Due to this, Pearl Millet has many health benefits. As it is rich in fibre, it tends to digest slowly and release glucose at a slower rate as compared to other foods. So this is very good for people with diabetes as it helps in maintaining healthy blood sugar levels. As the high fiber content in bajra leads to a feeling of fullness for a prolonged period of time, it helps in weight loss. Regularly consuming products with bajra can help prevent the development of breast cancer in premenopausal women.

The high content of magnesium present in bajra controls blood pressure, whereas niacin lowers the blood cholesterol level. This will help in reducing the chances of heart diseases. Also, the antioxidants present in bajra prevents heart diseases.

  2. The ingredients are health based but these are deep fried so contain bad fats. Therefore according to me these will help in weight gain instead of weight loss if consumed regularly. I think once in a while in limited quantity is fine.
