In our Tamil Nadu villages, health wasn’t found in a medicine cabinet; it was found in the stone-ground flours stored in large brass tins. At SMS, we believe that the soul of the grain must be preserved. Our flours aren’t mass-produced in high-heat industrial mills. They are prepared with care, ensuring that every Roti, Dosa, or Bajji you make is packed with native strength.
1. Ragi Flour (Finger Millet): The Iron Pillar
Known as the “famine reserve” of our ancestors, Ragi is the king of calcium. Our SMS Ragi Flour is processed to keep the fiber intact. Whether you are making a cooling Ragi Koozh or soft Ragi Idlies, you are eating the same energy that sustains our farmers in the fields.
2. Kambu Flour (Pearl Millet): The Summer Cooler
Our Kambu Flour is a tribute to the dry-land farmers of Tamil Nadu. Naturally gluten-free and incredibly cooling for the body, it’s the perfect antidote to our tropical heat. It brings a rustic, earthy flavor to your kitchen that processed flours simply can’t replicate.
3. Pure Wheat Flour: Traditional & Unbleached
Unlike commercial “Chakki” flours that are often stripped of their nutrients for a longer shelf life, SMS Wheat Flour is pure and wholesome. We use high-quality grains that result in soft, fragrant rotis without the need for any chemical softening agents or dough conditioners.
4. Bajji Flour: The Taste of Village Festivals
Every rainy evening in the village calls for hot Bajjis. Our SMS Bajji Flour is a special blend of native grams and spices. It’s light, crispy, and free from the artificial orange colors (Kesari powder) found in store-bought mixes. It’s the authentic taste of a street-side shop in the heart of rural Tamil Nadu.
Why Our Flours Are Different
In the race for “white” and “fine” textures, modern milling removes the bran and germ—the very parts where the vitamins live. SMS flours are:
- Stone-Ground Style: Keeping the temperature low so the natural oils in the grain don’t turn rancid.
- No Preservatives: We don’t add “anti-caking” agents. It’s just 100% grain.
- Native Sourcing: Every grain is a product of our local soil and hard-working farmers.
