Ancient Grains for Modern Health: The Power of Finger Millet in Daily Diet
In the world of modern nutrition, there's a growing shift back to traditional foods — and Finger Millet, also known as Ragi, is at the forefront. This ancient grain, long revered in Indian households, is earning its place on global superfood lists, thanks to its incredible health benefits and adaptability in daily meals.
What is Finger Millet?
Finger Millet (Eleusine coracana) is a drought-resistant, gluten-free grain cultivated widely in India and Africa. For generations, it has been a dietary staple in South Indian kitchens, often used to make porridge, rotis, laddoos, and even baked goods. Its earthy taste and rich nutrient profile make it a perfect blend of tradition and modern health science.
