ABOUT

Finger millet, owing to the appearance of the grain comprising five spikes arranged in a cluster, is often referred to as “finger millet”. The grain, which is small and round, has a unique texture and color that makes it easily distinguishable from other grains. Ragi, or finger millet, is one of the ancient grains popular as baby food. The natural sources of vitamin D, calcium, and iron make this tiny grain a wholesome option for babies. It helps to strengthen the bones and eases digestion, which makes ragi a favorite among people to introduce to their little ones as a weaning food. This versatile wonder grain can be used to make roti, paratha, porridge, smoothie, puttu, and mudde. These recipes can be included in a daily diet for their umpteen health benefits without compromising on taste. Also known as Nacchini in Hindi, finger millet is non-glutinous and is ideal for people who are allergic to gluten. The high fiber content helps with digestion and maintains sugar levels. Therefore, with their abundant health benefits, it is essential for adults to include them in their daily diet and should not be limited to just baby food.
