Finger Millet or Ragi

Finger Millet, also known as ragi, is an annually cultivated cereal crop that is widely found in tropical regions of Africa and Asia, such as Ethiopia, India, and Sri Lanka.

It is a nutrient-dense grain that is rich in fiber, calcium, iron, and amino acids.

Ragi has been shown to confer several health benefits such as enhancing digestion, reducing the risk of heart disease, slowing down ageing and managing diabetes.

For instance, ragi is a rich source of calcium and can help improve bone density. It also contains antioxidants that can help reduce the risk of heart disease. Ragi’s high fiber content can help regulate blood sugar levels and improve digestion.
