Finger Millet (Ragi)

Finger Millet (Ragi) Details

Finger millet, popularly known as ragi, is a small grain with mighty benefits, revered for both its resilience in the field and its richness on the plate. This ancient cereal thrives in poor soils and harsh climates, making it a lifeline for farmers in drought-prone regions. But beyond its agricultural toughness lies a treasure trove of nutrition. Finger millet is a powerhouse of calcium—ten times more than rice or wheat—making it a natural bone builder, especially vital for growing children and aging adults. It’s also packed with iron, magnesium, potassium, and zinc, supporting everything from blood health to nerve function. What sets it apart even further is its low glycemic index and high fiber content, making it a favorite for managing diabetes, reducing cholesterol, and aiding in weight loss. Its polyphenols and antioxidants offer protection against aging and chronic diseases, while being gluten-free makes it a safe staple for those with gluten intolerance. With its earthy flavor and dense nutrition, finger millet isn’t just food—it’s functional, wholesome, and a rediscovered supergrain for the modern world.
