Proso Millet (Chino Chamal / Chino Rice / चिनो चामल)
Chino Chamal, also known as Proso Millet, Chino Rice and चिनो चामल, is one of Nepal’s most valuable high-mountain grains. It is traditionally grown above 3,500 meters in the remote Himalayan districts of Humla, Mugu, Dolpa, Jumla and Kalikot. Locally respected for centuries, this ancient grain has been a part of mountain diets long before modern rice became common.
The botanical name of Chino Chamal is Abhishekam. The grains are small like millet, with slightly hairy leaves and stems. In some regions it is also called Dhan Kodo due to its close similarity to kodo millet. Chino Rice grows slowly in harsh mountain climates and takes around 960 to 1000 days to fully mature, which is one of the reasons it is packed with natural minerals and nutrients.
Karnali Mart’s Chino Chamal is organically sourced directly from Himalayan farmers who still use traditional and sustainable farming methods. Every pack of Proso Millet supports rural livelihoods, protects soil health and keeps Nepal’s ancient food culture alive.
