Ragi or Finger Millet: This small but mighty millet is a hardy crop and can withstand harsh weather conditions, lack of proper irrigation and even high altitudes. Due to its small grain size, it is normally consumed unpolished and in its purest form. A staple in Southern Indian food cultures, it is now gaining in popularity – perhaps due to offering three times more calcium than a glass of milk! Its high-fibre content keeps people fuller for longer and is an excellent source of natural iron, while also containing phosphorus which aids in bone and dental health, digestion and balances the pH levels in our bodies.

Offering 3-4 times more antioxidants than other whole grains, Jowar really is a super immunity booster and has a low glycaemic index, making it perfect for those with type-2 diabetes.
