Finger Millet (Ragi) - ராகி

Ragi (Eleusine coracana), a staple in many South Indian and African diets, is a gluten-free grain known for its exceptional nutritional profile. It has a slightly nutty and earthy flavor and can be consumed in various forms, such as whole grain, flour, or sprouted powder. Ragi is highly valued for its high calcium content, making it ideal for growing children, pregnant women, and the elderly to support strong bones and teeth. Its dietary fiber content aids digestion, helps in weight management, and regulates blood sugar levels, making it a preferred choice for diabetics. Ragi is also packed with antioxidants and essential nutrients that support heart health and boost immunity.
