Finger Millet/ Ragi/Nachni is Diabetic friendly non starchy glutten free, which makes it a very healthy alternative, Finger millet is very high in calcium, rich in iron and fibre, and has a better energy content than other cereals. These characteristics make it ideal for feeding to infants and the elderly.For children, ragi is also fed with milk and sugar (malt).

In India, finger millet (locally called by various name including ragi, kezhvaragu and nachani) is mostly grown and consumed in South India, Finger millet can be ground and cooked into cakes,puddings or porridge. Ragi flour is made into Idli(Steamed Cake) & flatbreads,  including thin, leavened dosa and thicker, unleavened roti.
