Organic Finger Millet, commonly known as Ragi, is an ancient grain native to India. The grain is small in size with a distinctive reddish-brown colour and is highly valued for its exceptional nutritional profile. Ragi is an excellent source of calcium and dietary fiber and is known for its low glycemic index, making it suitable for diabetic and weight-conscious diets. It is widely used in traditional foods as well as modern health-focused formulations.
