Value Added Products from Nutri-Cereals: Finger Millet:

Among the small millets, finger millet, also known as ragi in India, is one of the most significant grains, with the most area under cultivation. In terms of protein (6-8%) and fat (1-2%), finger millet is equivalent to rice, but it outperforms rice and wheat in terms of mineral and micronutrient content. For a substantial portion of the population, it provides a primary source of dietary carbs. Ragi also provides a lot of health benefits and is a rich source of micronutrients in addition to the basic food components. The current demand for the well-being of society is to develop value-added food products based on ragi that can enrich nutritional value while also being advantageous to good health.
