How Many Carbohydrates Are in Jowar per 100g? - #10183
I’ve recently started including more whole grains in my diet, and jowar (sorghum) is one of the grains I’ve been exploring. I want to understand its nutritional profile better, especially its carbohydrate content. How many carbohydrates are in jowar per 100g, and how does it compare to other grains like wheat or rice? From what I’ve read, jowar is considered a high-energy grain due to its carbohydrate content, making it a great option for sustained energy. However, I’ve also heard that it has a lower glycemic index compared to refined grains, which could make it suitable for diabetics. Is this true, and does its fiber content help slow down the release of sugar into the bloodstream? Another question I have is about how jowar fits into specific dietary goals. For example, is it a good choice for weight management or for people looking to increase their intake of complex carbs? How does its carbohydrate profile impact athletic performance or energy levels throughout the day? If anyone regularly consumes jowar, I’d love to know how you incorporate it into your meals. Do you use it as flour for rotis, in porridge, or as a replacement for rice? Have you noticed any improvements in digestion, energy levels, or other health markers after including it in your diet?
