In recent years, ancient grains have captured the attention of food industry; what was once a staple of the poor, is now being enthusiastically taken up by nutritionists and celebrities alike.  Ragi or finger millet is one of the best cereals and has been a secret to the health and longetivity of our ancestors. These tiny seed-like millets offer a wide range of benefits: 

Richest source of calcium for strong bones

Calcium is essential for maintaining bone mass necessary to support the skeleton. Calcium is constantly used by muscles as well as in nerve and heart functions. Doctors are turning towards plant-based sources for calcium that can be easily absorbed by the body. Of all the cereals and millets, this humble millet has the highest amount of calcium (344 mg/100g) and potassium.
