Description

Ragi — also known as finger millet, nachni, or mandua — has been a trusted staple of South Indian and Deccan households for thousands of years, prized as one of the richest plant-based sources of calcium among all grains and flours.

Better Nutrition Sprouted Ragi Atta takes our biofortified finger millet a step further. Before milling, the grain is soaked and naturally sprouted — a traditional process that activates the seed's own enzymes and helps break down phytic acid, a naturally occurring compound in grains that can otherwise limit how well the body absorbs minerals like calcium, iron and zinc. The result is a flour that starts out naturally rich in these nutrients through biofortification, and becomes easier for your body to actually absorb and digest.

Each batch is naturally gluten-free, and — like our regular Biofortified Ragi Atta — naturally provides approximately 344 mg of Calcium and 11.5 g of dietary fibre per 100 g, along with naturally occurring plant protein, Zinc and Iron (exact protein, Zinc and Iron values for this specific sprouted batch will be confirmed from lab testing and printed on the pack, as our ragi collection page does not list mg figures for these). After sprouting, the grain is gently dried and stone-ground, a slower milling process that preserves more of its natural bran, germ and nutty flavour than high-speed modern mills.

Sourced from our network of farming communities trained in biofortified, sustainable agriculture, every batch is rigorously nutrient-tested and can be traced back to seed via the QR code on the pack.

Ragi, made a little differently—biofortified at the seed, and sprouted for better absorption.

TriNutrimaxx™️

Agronomic Biofortification is our farm-level technique for naturally increasing the nutritional value of crops by combining the right biofortified seed, nutrient-rich soil and precision agronomic practices through the crop cycle. Instead of adding nutrients after harvest, we work from the beginning of the farming process to help the plant access and retain higher levels of naturally occurring nutrients such as iron, zinc and protein. The approach integrates seed selection, soil, and crop management, farmer protocols and testing at harvest, creating a controlled seed-to-harvest nutrition system rather than relying on fortification at the food-processing stage!

 
Benefits

Biofortified Foundation — Naturally High in Calcium, Zinc & Iron

Grown from our specially developed, biofortified finger millet seeds, this atta naturally starts out rich in Calcium and Iron. Our ragi collection page confirms approximately 344 mg of Calcium per 100 g, along with naturally occurring dietary fibre and minerals 

Sprouted for Better Absorption

Sprouting is a traditional process known to reduce phytic acid, a natural compound that can bind to calcium, iron and zinc and limit how much the body absorbs. This means the minerals already present in biofortified ragi become easier for your body to use.

Naturally Gluten-Free

Finger millet is naturally free of gluten, making this atta a suitable choice for those avoiding gluten in their diet.

Exceptionally Rich in Calcium

Ragi is one of the richest plant-based sources of calcium among all grains, important for strong bones and teeth — a benefit this atta starts with from the seed itself, before sprouting even begins.

Rich in Dietary Fibre

Naturally high in dietary fibre, supporting healthy digestion, regular bowel movements, and helping you feel fuller for longer.

Naturally Low Glycemic Index

Ragi's complex carbohydrate structure and high fibre content slow glucose absorption, helping support stable blood sugar levels as part of a balanced diet.

Chemical-Free & Non-GMO

Grown without chemical fertilisers, synthetic pesticides, or GMOs — as with all Better Nutrition biofortified grains.

Stone-Ground for Nutrient Retention

Sprouted and then stone-ground (chakki-milled), this atta retains more of its natural bran, germ and earthy-nutty flavour than flour milled using high-speed, high-heat processes.

Traceable from Farm to Pack

The QR code on the pack lets you trace this atta's journey from seed to sprouting to your kitchen, with batch-level nutrient testing along the way.
Shelf Life

Best Before: 4 months from the date of manufacture (when stored correctly).

Storage Instructions:

  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat, and humidity.
  • After opening, transfer immediately to a clean, airtight container to prevent moisture ingress and insect contamination.
  • In humid or tropical climates, refrigerating the flour after opening is strongly recommended to maintain freshness and prevent the natural oils from turning rancid.
  • Avoid storing near strong-smelling spices or foods, as ragi flour can absorb surrounding odours.
  • Once opened, best consumed within 30–45 days for optimal taste, aroma, and nutritional potency.
  • Before use, check for any unusual odour, clumping, or discolouration. Fresh ragi flour has a pleasantly earthy, slightly nutty aroma. Any sour or musty smell indicates it should be discarded.

What is Sprouted Ragi Atta?

Sprouted Ragi Atta is made by soaking and sprouting whole finger millet grains before they are dried and stone-ground into flour — a traditional process believed to improve nutrient absorption and digestibility compared to regular ragi flour.
How is this different from Better Nutrition's regular Ragi Atta?

Both are grown from our biofortified finger millet seeds, naturally higher in Zinc, Iron and Calcium. This version is additionally sprouted before milling, a process that can help reduce phytic acid and make those minerals easier for the body to absorb.
Why does sprouting help with nutrient absorption?

Grains naturally contain phytic acid, which can bind to minerals like calcium, iron and zinc and reduce how much the body absorbs. Sprouting is a traditional process known to lower phytic acid levels, which may improve mineral bioavailability.
Is Sprouted Ragi Atta gluten-free?

Yes. Finger millet is naturally gluten-free, making this atta suitable for those avoiding gluten in their diet.
How much calcium does Sprouted Ragi Atta contain?

Ragi is naturally one of the richest plant-based sources of calcium among all grains — approximately 344 mg per 100 g, as stated on our ragi atta collection page.
Can Sprouted Ragi Atta be given to babies as a weaning food?

Ragi porridge is a trusted traditional weaning food in India. As with any new food, please consult your paediatrician before introducing it to an infant's diet.
Is Sprouted Ragi Atta suitable for diabetics?

Ragi has a naturally low glycemic index and high fibre content, which together can help slow glucose absorption. If you are managing diabetes or blood sugar levels, it's best to check with your doctor or dietitian before making changes to your diet.
Is Sprouted Ragi Atta chemical-free and Non-GMO?

Yes. Like all Better Nutrition biofortified grains, it is grown without chemical fertilisers, synthetic pesticides, or GMOs.
