Sprouted Jonna Flour Andhra's Ancient Superfood, Rediscovered
Jonna (sorghum) rotis were once the daily bread of every Telugu household. Strong, nutritious and deeply satisfying — jowar sustained generations of farmers and families across the Deccan. Somewhere along the way, it was replaced by refined wheat. We are bringing jonna back — sprouted, stone-ground and packed with the nutrition our bodies have always needed.
How our sprouted jonna flour is made
Selected sorghum grains are cleaned, soaked and allowed to sprout naturally over 24–36 hours. The sprouted jonna is then sun-dried and stone-ground into smooth flour. Each step follows the traditional process — slow, careful and chemical-free.
- Naturally sprouted sorghum — no additives at any stage
- Sun-dried before grinding to preserve sprouted nutrients
- Stone-ground for superior texture and nutrition
- 100% gluten-free — suitable for gluten-sensitive individuals
- No preservatives, no bleaching, no artificial treatment
Why sprouted jonna is a true superfood
Jonna is naturally high in iron, protein, B vitamins and antioxidants. Sprouting further increases its nutritional profile by breaking down anti-nutrients and improving mineral availability. It has a lower glycaemic index than wheat, making it an excellent choice for people managing blood sugar.
Uses:
- Traditional jonna rotis — soft, earthy and filling
- Jonna sankati — the classic Andhra staple
