Ragi flakes are made from ragi, also known as finger millet, by flattening the grains into thin, crispy flakes through a steaming and pressing process. These flakes retain the natural goodness of ragi, which is rich in calcium, fiber, and essential nutrients. Ragi flakes can be used to prepare a variety of quick and healthy dishes like upma, porridge, or eaten with milk and fruits as a breakfast cereal. Their significance lies in providing a nutritious, gluten-free alternative to traditional grains, supporting bone health, digestion, and maintaining steady energy levels throughout the day.
