Product Description

Foxtail Millet is one of India’s traditional millets and has been cultivated and consumed for generations. It is a versatile grain that can be used as an alternative to rice in everyday meals and in a variety of traditional millet preparations.

At Sampoorna Swadesi, we believe different crops require suitable soil and climatic conditions. Our Foxtail Millet is cultivated by our farming partner Sivarami Reddy from Adoni, Andhra Pradesh, following natural farming practices.

Know Your Farmer

Sivarami Reddy – Adoni

Our Foxtail Millet is cultivated by Sivarami Reddy in Adoni, using traditional agricultural knowledge and natural farming methods.

We believe that knowing who grows our food and where it comes from is an important part of building a direct relationship between farmers and consumers.

Natural Farming & Indigenous Seeds

Our Foxtail Millet is cultivated using natural farming methods and indigenous/traditional seeds, following the farming practices of our farmer.

We focus on traditional agricultural knowledge, responsible cultivation and traceable sourcing.

We do not claim organic certification for this product. Our focus is on natural farming practices, indigenous/traditional seeds and our direct relationship with the farmer.

Natural Preservation

We follow natural preservation and storage methods to help maintain the shelf life of our millet, rather than relying on chemical preservatives as part of our approach.

As a naturally sourced agricultural product, Foxtail Millet may naturally vary in colour, size, texture and appearance between different batches.

Why Can Black Pests Appear in Foxtail Millet?

Customers may occasionally notice small black storage insects or pests in millets.

Stored grains and millets can naturally be affected by storage insects, particularly in warm and humid conditions. Such insects may originate from the crop or become visible later during storage.

The occasional presence of a storage insect does not by itself mean that the millet has been adulterated.

We want our customers to understand the difference between natural storage pests and genuine food deterioration.

Replacement Policy

Because Foxtail Millet is a naturally sourced agricultural product, minor natural variations and occasional black storage pests are not automatically considered a product defect.

Generally, we do not replace Foxtail Millet solely because of the presence of occasional black storage pests.

However, we will consider replacement in the event of a genuine quality issue, particularly where fungus/mould or white worms/larvae are found.

Please contact us as soon as possible with photographs and the relevant order or batch information so that the issue can be reviewed.

Our Sampoorna Swadesi Approach

At Sampoorna Swadesi, we believe that knowing who grows our food and where it comes from is important.
