• Suji is a high-fiber food that makes it suitable for people trying to lose weight. Fiber has the ability to absorb water and swell up thereby giving a fullness effect. This automatically helps to reduce appetite. 
• Due to its high magnesium content, suji has the ability to increase the response to the insulin hormone. This regulates the blood glucose levels in the body and helps in the management of diabetes. 
• Suji has another essential mineral- iron in it. Iron plays a vital role in managing the symptoms of anemia which occurs as a result of a lack of hemoglobin in the blood. 
• Suji contains selenium, vitamin B complex, and vitamin E. These nutrients play a vital role in boosting the immunity of an individual and preventing the onset of infections.
