Several other names in different languages know the grain. These names include:
Finger millet in English, Nachni in Marathi, Madua in Bengali , Ragulu in Telugu, Kezhvaragu in Tamil
Ragi is a rich source of protein. The high protein content of ragi helps prevent malnutrition.

Ragi’s seed coat boasts a wealth of polyphenols and dietary fibres compared to rice, maize, and wheat. Polyphenols are plant chemicals that slow the digestion process.
The grain’s remarkable feature lies in its low glycemic index.
It effectively curbs food cravings and ensures gradual digestion. As a result, this helps maintain blood sugar levels within the recommended range.
