About Finger millet
Finger millet, also known as ragi, is a nutrient-rich cereal native to Africa and widely cultivated in South Asia. Packed with essential nutrients, it stands out as an excellent source of protein, dietary fiber, and essential minerals like calcium, iron, and potassium. Finger millet is naturally gluten-free, making it ideal for individuals with gluten intolerance. It's renowned for its slow-digesting carbohydrates, which help regulate blood sugar levels and provide long-lasting energy. Commonly used in Indian and African cuisines, ragi is versatile and can be prepared as porridge, baked goods, or fermented dishes. Despite its impressive nutrient profile, its high levels of phytates may slightly hinder mineral absorption, though balanced preparation methods can mitigate this. Finger millet is celebrated for its role in supporting bone health, aiding digestion, and boosting overall wellness, making it a valuable addition to a healthy diet.
