Description
Raggi seeds, also known as finger millet seeds or nachni seeds, are the small, round grains obtained from the ragi plant (Eleusine coracana). Raggi is a cereal crop that is primarily cultivated in Africa and Asia, particularly in India. These seeds have been an integral part of traditional diets in these regions for centuries due to their nutritional value and versatility. Raggi seeds are rich in essential nutrients, making them a valuable dietary component. They are a good source of dietary fiber, protein, and important minerals such as calcium, iron, and potassium. The seeds are also gluten-free, making them suitable for individuals with gluten intolerance or celiac disease. In culinary applications, raggi seeds are commonly ground into flour to make various food products. Raggi flour is used in the preparation of traditional Indian dishes like ragi roti (flatbread), dosas (fermented pancakes), and porridges. Raggi seeds can also be popped like popcorn and used as a crunchy topping for salads or snacks. One of the significant advantages of raggi seeds is their ability to thrive in diverse climatic conditions and poor soil quality, making them a resilient crop option.
