Ragi Flour 500 gram

Eleusine Coracana, or simply put Ragi, is an annual crop found in the tropical regions of India, Ethiopia and Sri Lanka. A staple diet in the Southern parts of India, ragi is densely packed with a host of nutrients and offers innumerable health benefits.
It has been a valuable health grain in ancient agriculture and yet, since ancient times, Ragi has often been sidelined because of the easy availability of other cereal crops like rice and wheat. Thanks to extensive research and the push to include millets in daily diets to fight malnutrition, Ragi has gained immense popularity in recent times.
Being high in protein, calcium, iron and amino acids, ragi is touted as a Superfood. Ragi benefits babies as well, which is why it is one of the most commonly used millets for making porridge for infants.

Benefits

Source of Protein and Fibre

Vegetarians and their fight to include more protein in their diets is a constant tussle. Including Ragi in daily diet can help vegetarians resolve this as 100 grams of whole ragi flour provides over 7 gms of pure protein and 16 gms of fibre.
Owing to its high fibre content, Ragi or Nachni, prevents overeating and keeps you full for a longer time, and this aids in weight loss. Ragi porridge is considered as a great food option for infants and young kids to regulate their bowel movements. The insoluble fibre in Ragi helps ease the movement of foods in the stomach and adds bulk to the stool, facilitating better digestion and relieving constipation.

Good for diabetic people

Ragi is rich in dietary fibre and thus lessens the cravings for food. In comparison to wheat and other flours, it creates a far lesser spike in blood sugar levels.
Ragi is also rich in magnesium which helps the pancreas produce enough insulin to control blood sugar, thus improving insulin sensitivity.
