Ragi is rich in natural calcium that helps in making your bones stronger, which is very beneficial for growing children and elderly people.

Ragi contains high amounts of potassium which helps function your heart properly.

People having diabetes are recommended to eat ragi as it helps control blood sugar levels in the body.

Ragi supports digestion due to the presence of insoluble fibres. This helps add water to the stool and help food pass more quickly through the stomach and the intestines.

Ragi also helps fight anemia because of its high protein and mineral content.

As it’s high in protein, it also helps prevent hair loss and promotes healthy hair growth.

Ragi is a rich source of iron that helps boost hemoglobin levels in the body.
