Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
- What are Fudco Samo Seeds?
- Samo seeds (also known as moriyo, bhagar, or barnyard millet) are small, round pseudo-grains derived from a wild grass species. They are widely consumed across South Asia as a primary grain substitute during religious fasting days.
- Can samo seeds be eaten during all major fasts (vrat)?
- Yes, they are traditionally permitted and consumed during Hindu fasts such as Navratri, Mahashivratri, Ekadashi, and Janmashtami because they are classified as non-cereal grains (farali).
- How do you cook Samo Seeds (Moriyo)?
- Cooking samo is very simple and similar to boiling rice or couscous. Rinse the seeds, sauté them briefly in ghee with cumin seeds and green chilies (if permitted), add double the amount of water, and simmer for about 8 to 10 minutes until fluffy.
- How should I store the 1kg pack after opening?
- To maintain absolute freshness and prevent pantry pests or moisture from ruining the grains, seal the original packaging tightly or transfer the samo seeds into a clean, airtight glass or plastic container and store them in a cool, dry pantry.
