Finger Millet (Ragi)

Also known as: Ragi, Nachni, Mandua, African finger millet.

Botanical name: Eleusine coracana.

Finger millet (ragi) is a very small, round, reddish-brown cereal grain that is naturally gluten-free. Karnataka is the largest growing state, followed by Tamil Nadu, Uttarakhand, Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra.

Trutone Agro receives finger millet at its Jaipur plant, cleans, grades and packs it as whole grain to the buyer's specification, and ships each lot with a certificate of analysis.

Applications

• Flour for flatbreads, porridge and bakery

• Malted and sprouted ragi for beverages and infant cereals

• Multigrain blends and snack products

• Gluten-free product ranges [subject to your segregation statement]

Origin and sourcing: Sourced from [Karnataka / other states you actually buy from].

Handling note: Ragi grain is very small and close in size to soil particles and small stones, so destoning and sieving decide the final purity. Request a lot analysis for foreign matter, not only purity.
