Ragi: The Calcium-Rich Grain That’s a Must for Every Indian Woman

If there's one grain every Indian woman should include in her weekly diet, it’s ragi. Known as finger millet, ragi has been used for centuries in southern Indian kitchens, but it’s only now that we’re rediscovering its power—especially when it comes to bone health.

In a world where lifestyle diseases and bone-related issues like early-onset osteoporosis are on the rise, ragi offers a natural solution.

Why Ragi Deserves a Spot in Your Diet

• High in calcium: Ragi contains 344 mg of calcium per 100g—more than most grains.

• Rich in iron: Supports healthy blood and energy levels.

• Loaded with fiber: Keeps digestion smooth and steady.

• Naturally gluten-free: Ideal for sensitive stomachs.

Bone Health and Indian Women

Indian women are more prone to calcium deficiency, especially during pregnancy, breastfeeding, and post-menopause. Instead of relying only on supplements, incorporating traditional foods like ragi can be a sustainable solution.
