Ragi, also known as nachni, finger millet, red millet, and kezhvaragu, is a tiny grain that resembles red mustard seeds. It is highly nutritious and is a rich source of protein, fibre, iron, and calcium. It is rich in methionine, an essential amino acid required for protein synthesis and is absent in people who consume starchy, heavily-processed foods. It is gluten-free and suits the dietary requirements of those struggling with gastrointestinal issues. Plus, it is an excellent source of plant-based proteins, something that vegans will appreciate.
