Ragi is a healthy grain and nutritious food for babies. It's known as finger millet in English, ragi in Kannada,
mandika in Hindi, panji pullu in Malayalam, ragulu in Telugu, and kelvaragu or Keppai in Tamil.
Ragi is a gluten-free grain that is associated with several health benefits.
Ragi is one of the most beneficial millets. Sprouting it and making flour increases
the health benefits many folds. The process of germination breaks down some of the starch, making it more nutrient-rich.
It also reduces phytates (anti-nutrients), helping in the absorption of nutrients.
The entire process of sprouting, drying, and grinding may take 4-5 days but it is mostly resting time.
Although sprouting ragi and making flour from it takes time, it is the best way to eat ragi.

Ragi for Babies
Especially for babies, Ragi porridge would be their first semi-solid food when they are 5-6 months old.
Ragi can be given to babies from 6 months after introducing a few vegetable purees or fruit purees and rice.
When you introduce Ragi to your baby, you can make ragi porridge with extracted milk from whole ragi millet or plain ragi porridge with homemade ragi flour. Make sure to cook the ragi thoroughly for at least 10 minutes; otherwise, it may result in loose motion in babies.
Start with this 1 tbsp of ragi porridge and check whether the baby shows an allergic reaction.
Check it for three days, and if the baby is not allergic to it, you can increase the amount gradually.
