What is Sathumaavu?
Sathumaavu, another name for multigrain health mix or energy mix powder, is made by mixing different pulses, millets, whole grains, and other healthy ingredients, each with their own health benefits. Usually, people make the mix at home, roast it, grind it and keep it stored for future usage.
Here at Raji’s Kitchen, we prepare Sathumaavu from scratch, making sure it is real, healthy and preservative-free.
Why is Sathumaavu considered the ultimate health mix?
Sathumaavu is different from commercial protein shakes or energy drinks because it:
-
A blend that only uses natural grains and pulses
-
No chemicals, sugar or flavors are added.
-
High fiber, high plant-based protein and essential vitamins
-
One that can be used by people of all ages: babies, adults and the elderly
Now, we’ll explore what health benefits modern society gets from this traditional food.
Here are the Top 5 Health Benefits of Sathumaavu.
1. Helps to Build Body’s Natural Protection
Today, it is necessary to care about your immunity, because living without it is not an option. Green gram, horse gram, and almonds are mixed in Sathumaavu, as these ingredients are rich in zinc, iron, and antioxidants. These nutrients are very important for:
-
Making more white blood cells
-
Fighting infections
-
Preventing getting sick from seasonal flu and feeling tired
If you often eat Sathumaavu, it can increase your immunity with no effort required.
2. Assists Kids in Gaining a Healthy Weight
Is it possible that your kid is underweight? The perfect answer is available in Sathumaavu. A combination of cereals, pulses, and nuts supplies the diet with:
-
Getting energy from slow-digesting carbs
-
There are good fats in nuts such as cashews and badams.
-
Plant protein is important for developing muscle
Drinking Sathumaavu porridge with milk or ghee gives children a nutritious and tasty meal.
Mix in a teaspoon of Raji’s Kitchen ghee to add taste and healthiness to it.
3. Supports the digestive system and gut comfort
A lot of processed foods contain little fiber which may lead to constipation and indigestion. On the other hand, Sathumaavu tends to be:
-
Soluble fiber – to help your body absorb food efficiently
-
Fiber that is not easily digested – so that constipation can be prevented and regularity is promoted
Having ragi and bajra in the diet helps maintain the healthy balance of bacteria in the gut which affects immunity and mental health.
4. Makes clean energy available all day long
Don’t worry about hitting a sugar rush or feeling a caffeine crash. Sathumaavu keeps you going for a long time because of its:
-
Sources of complex carbs that continue to give energy for a long time
-
Ingredients with iron to keep fatigue away
-
Cellular energy requires the nutrients magnesium and B-complex vitamins.
Perfect for:
-
Nutritious food to help school-going kids begin their day well
-
Lunch options for busy professionals
-
Evening snack suitable for seniors
Sathumaavu wakes you up and makes you feel alert no matter how old you are.
5. Strengthens Bones and Muscles
Thanks to ingredients like ragi (finger millet), which is high in calcium, and green gram for protein, Sathumaavu supports bone density and muscle health.
Especially beneficial for:
-
Toddlers in the growing stage
-
Women in their pregnancy and postnatal stages
-
Elders facing bone weakness or joint issues
Calcium, phosphorus, and natural protein come together to ensure strong bones and lean muscles—naturally and safely.
