Ragi Ladoo: Rustic Traditional Superfood - 350g (Pack of 1/Pack of 2)

Ragi is a powerhouse of nutrients. One of India’s original superfoods, it is rich in protein, iron, calcium, fibre and amino acids. Stemming from the interiors of Raigad where ragi is known as nachni, this ladoo is low on sweetness and high on goodness!

Provenance

Legend has it that ragi came across the Arabian Sea from East Africa to India around 1800 BC. Initially revered for its colour and nutritional benefits, ragi consumption took a backseat over the last few decades as people shifted preferences towards wheat and rice.

In recent years ragi has come to the fore once again. Still grown largely in small-scale holdings by individual farmers, this plant which grows as fingers on a hand (hence the name finger millet) is receiving nationwide attention once again. In Maharashtra, ragi or nachni as it is locally known is used to make bhakris (flatbread). Ladoos are a popular exponent too. Ours, mixed with green gram dal, cow ghee, sesame, dry ginger powder and peanut is the powerhouse of nutrition and goodness this wonder grain deserves.

Shivani Mahila Bachat Ghat was formed in 2007 to create an income source to support the families of these women through using locally grown ragi (nachni) to make and sell these tasty and nutritionally rich rustic ladoos using one of India's oldest known superfoods.
