Ragi, scientifically known as Eleusine coracana, is a robust cereal grain originating from the Indian subcontinent and East Africa. Also referred to as Finger Millet, this small reddish-brown grain is packed with dietary fiber, calcium, iron, and essential amino acids. Traditionally hailed as a “poor man’s protein,” Ragi has now gained global recognition as a superfood due to its gluten-free composition and low glycemic index, making it especially beneficial for diabetics and those with gluten intolerance.
Didwaniya Group sources Ragi directly from fertile regions of Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Maharashtra—where optimal climatic conditions promote rich yields. The grain is hygienically cleaned, graded, and processed to retain its nutrient profile and natural goodness, ensuring our clients receive only the best of this ancient grain.

Application
Ragi’s application spans traditional and modern food systems. In Indian cuisine, Ragi flour is a staple in dishes such as ragi roti, mudde, kanji, and porridge. It is also widely used to make baby food, energy bars, multigrain breads, and health drink mixes. Its high calcium content supports bone health, while its slow-digesting complex carbohydrates provide sustained energy. The increasing demand for plant-based, gluten-free ingredients across the health and wellness industry has placed Ragi in the spotlight globally, with Didwaniya Group at the forefront of quality exports.
