Ragi is notorious for containing fine dust and sand.
Our Process: We do not rely on simple sieving. We run the grain through optical color sorters to remove impurities that are the same size as the grain.
The Benefit: You get a clean, dust-free product that won’t damage your milling machines or spoil the taste of the flour.
The Benefit: We source fresh crop Ragi with high germination power. This is crucial for buyers who want to produce “Sprouted Ragi Flour” (Malt), which commands a premium price in the baby food market.
Calcium Powerhouse: Contains 10x more calcium than rice or wheat. Essential for bone health in children and seniors.
Diabetes Control: Low Glycemic Index (GI) and high fiber content help check blood sugar levels.
Natural Relaxant: Rich in amino acids (Tryptophan) that help reduce anxiety and insomnia.
Flour Milling: Ground into flour for Roti, Dosa, and Porridge.
Baby Food: The primary ingredient in traditional weaning foods due to its digestibility.
Brewing: Used in Africa and parts of Asia to brew traditional millet beer.
Bakery: Used in gluten-free cookies, breads, and muffins.
Bulk Loading: Ragi is a dense grain. We can load up to 24-25 Metric Tons in a single 20ft container.
Repacking: We recommend PP Woven Bags to allow the grain to breathe, or Paper Bags for retail-focused importers in Europe.
