Also known as ragi, this millet is high in calcium and has iron that is more bioavailable for the body. “This means that even though ragi may not be super high in iron, it is easily absorbed by our bodies as compared to other vegetarian sources.” In fact, it is so effective that it is commonly used to treat anaemia in low income group women and children.

It all began when a food processing company asked Swami to prepare ragi powder. While that was not particularly profitable and he declined the project, it did sow the seed of a new business idea. Swami did some serious online research and discovered there was a growing inclination among the fitness enthusiasts for millets, especially ragi which was being projected as a superfood. And so began Raaga Food Products.
