🌾 The Origin Story - Our millet soft idli is made from Kodo millets grown by small and marginal farmers in Tamil Nadu, using traditional, chemical-free farming methods passed down through generations. These grains were nearly lost to the Green Revolution — replaced by high-yield rice and wheat that demanded synthetic inputs and depleted the soil.
At Forgotten Foods, we work directly with farmers who practice natural farming — no pesticides, no chemical fertilizers, no GMOs. By choosing this product, you're supporting a farmer who is healing the land, one harvest at a time.
