NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION:


1.      Rich in calcium – No other cereal comes close to ragi when it comes to calcium content. 
2.      High fibre content – As compared to white rice, ragi contains higher amounts of dietary fibre.
3.      Aids diabetics  Diabetic patients can trust ragi to create a restrained build in glucose level.
4.      Battles anaemia – Ragi is an excellent source of natural iron. Patients of anaemia and low hemoglobin levels can begin to include ragi in their diets as a domestic remedy. Vitamin C is known to aid the absorption of iron. Once ragi is allowed to sprout, the vitamin C levels increase and lead to further absorption of iron into the bloodstream.
5.      Natural relaxant – The ample amount of amino acids and antioxidants in ragi help the body relax naturally.
6.      Reduces the risk of stroke – In its early stages of growth, that is, when it is still green, ragi can help prevent high blood pressure.
7.      Gluten-free – People with celiac disease or followers of the gluten-free diet can incorporate ragi into their daily consumption as it is completely free of gluten. 
8.      Boosts lactation – Lactating mothers are urged to include ragi, especially when it is green as it enhances milk handling and imbibes the milk with the essential amino acids, iron and calcium required for the nutrition of the mother as well as the child.
