About Ragi flour

Ragi flour, derived from finger millet, is a nutritious and gluten-free alternative to traditional grains. Native to South Asia and Africa, it has been a staple in Indian cuisine for centuries, particularly in regions like Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. Ragi flour is rich in essential nutrients, including calcium, iron, and dietary fiber, making it beneficial for bone health, digestion, and managing anemia. It is also packed with antioxidants and helps regulate blood sugar levels, making it a popular choice for diabetic-friendly and weight-management diets. With a low glycemic index and high protein content, it supports sustained energy and muscle growth. However, individuals with thyroid conditions should consume ragi in moderation, as its goitrogenic properties may interfere with iodine absorption. Versatile and wholesome, ragi flour is commonly used to prepare porridge, flatbreads, dosas, cookies, and pancakes, offering both nourishment and delicious versatility.
