Kodo contains high amounts of Vitamin B3, B6, folic acid and phytochemicals containing sulphur. It is a good source of essential amino acids like lysine, threonine, isoleucine and valine. These are constituent of most proteins and essential in building and repair of muscle. Since the body does not produce some of these amino acids it is essential to include it as a part of the diet. Like other millets, kodo is a rich source of fiber thus promoting gut, health, lowering blood sugar and cholesterol.
