Finger Millet (Ragi / Nachni) – Calcium-Rich Ancient Grain for Strength & Wellness

Finger Millet, popularly known as Ragi and Nachni, is one of the most nutritious ancient millets cultivated in India. Valued for its exceptionally high calcium content and rich nutritional profile, Ragi has been a staple grain in traditional diets for centuries. Naturally gluten-free and minimally processed, Finger Millet is an excellent choice for building strength, improving digestion, and supporting overall wellness.

Rich Source of Calcium & Essential Minerals

Ragi is widely known as one of the best plant-based sources of calcium, supporting strong bones and teeth. It is also rich in iron, magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium, which help maintain muscle function, improve metabolism, and boost overall vitality. This makes it especially beneficial for children, women, and the elderly.

High in Dietary Fiber & Easy to Digest

Finger Millet contains high levels of dietary fiber, which aids digestion, promotes gut health, and helps keep you full for longer. When properly cooked or sprouted, Ragi is gentle on the stomach and easy to digest, making it suitable for daily consumption.

Low Glycaemic Index – Ideal for Blood Sugar Control

With a low glycaemic index, Ragi helps regulate blood sugar levels by releasing energy slowly. This makes it a preferred grain for people managing diabetes, pre-diabetes, and those looking for sustained energy without sudden sugar spikes.
