Ragi is a very nutritious grain and I use it a lot in my day to day cooking. As I am following a low glycemic index meal plan these days, and Ragi being quite low on GI is one of great choice. Ragi is rich in dietary fibre and iron as well as great source of essential amino acids (building blocks for proteins) for body's repair and growth.

Organic food has always been my first choice for many years, mainly because it is cultivated naturally without the use of harmful chemicals. When I spotted the 24 mantras organic Ragi flakes it was happiness first because I never saw Ragi in ready to eat cereal market of India ever before and second because this is something different compared to the traditional Ragi dishes which I frequently make at home.
