Foxtail (Thinai/Kangni) Millet is a healthy alternative to rice. The cereal originated in East Asia. Popular termed as Ancient Grains, Foxtail millet is considered to be a heart healthy choice.
In India, foxtail millet is still an important crop in its arid and semi-arid regions. In South India, it has been a staple diet among people for a long time from the Sangam period. It is referred to often in old Tamil texts and is commonly associated with Lord Muruga and his consort Valli.
