This humble super millet, packed with abundant fibre and calcium, is extremely beneficial due to its umpteen health benefits. The husk of Ragi grain is indigestible and therefore the grain is usually hulled before use.

Grain is then used as flour and or used as malted, which is used to make porridge, laddoo, powder, Ragi muddle and some savory snacks too.
