Ragi, also known as finger millet, is a highly nutritious cereal native to Africa and widely cultivated in India. Packed with essential nutrients, it is a rich source of fiber, calcium, iron, and amino acids, making it a complete plant-based protein. Ragi is gluten-free, ideal for individuals with gluten sensitivities, and its natural antioxidants support digestive health and reduce inflammation. Known for its low glycemic index, it is recommended for diabetes management as it helps regulate blood sugar levels. Traditional Indian cuisine incorporates ragi into dishes like porridge, dosa, and mudde, a steamed dumpling, while modern recipes also use it in baked goods and smoothies. Its high calcium content promotes bone health, making it beneficial for children and the elderly. However, excessive consumption may lead to kidney strain due to its high phosphorus. Moderation ensures a balanced intake of its healthful benefits.
