Finger Millet / Ragi / Nachini

At Sudhantira, every grain is a return to roots. Our Ragi Millet, also known as Finger Millet in English, Kezhvaragu (கேழ்வரகு) in Tamil and Nachni in Hindi, is cultivated on our own organic farms using native seeds, traditional methods and zero chemicals.

This ancient millet is a powerhouse of calcium, iron, dietary fiber and antioxidants. Whether you’re planning to buy organic Ragi Millet online or simply looking for a wholesome, gluten-free alternative to rice and wheat, Sudhantira’s unpolished whole Ragi offers purity, strength and nourishment in every spoonful.

What is Ragi Millet?

Ragi (Eleusine coracana) is one of India’s oldest cultivated grains, revered for its high nutritional value and ability to thrive in arid conditions. Soft in texture and earthy in taste, it has been used for centuries to prepare baby porridge, koozh (fermented gruel), rotis, kanji and tiffin items like dosa and adai.

At Sudhantira, our whole Ragi millet is unpolished, sun-dried and small-batch processed - delivering you a product that’s clean, honest and full of life.

Health Benefits of Sudhantira’s Ragi Millet

2. Supports Blood Sugar Regulation
   Ragi has a low glycemic index and is high in fiber, which helps slow glucose absorption and prevent blood sugar spikes - making it excellent for diabetics.
