Sprouting (germination): sprouting process changes a dormant grain into living food. It increases the protein, mineral, vitamin, and fiber content of the grains. The nutritional qualities of the sprouted grains are bioactive and are easily absorbed by our bodies. Sprouted ragi (finger millet) flour has increased protein, dietary fiber, and enhanced iron bioavailability when compared to un sprouted ragi flour. Ragi is one of the abundant sources of calcium among plant foods. Additionally, it exhibits anti-microbial and anti-ulcerative properties. It is naturally gluten-free. Traditionally, ragi is used in the management of diabetes and as a weaning food for infants. It is rich in polyphenols (micro-nutrients) which are helpful in the prevention and management of lifestyle diseases like diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular diseases. Our grains are ground at a very low temperature (cold milled) & are not exposed to scorching heat. Low temperature means all the nutrients are retained in the flour.
Veganboon Ragi Flour stands out for its exceptional quality and rich nutritional profile. Ragi itself is a nutrient-dense grain, and Veegaboon ensures that these nutritional benefits are fully retained in their flour. It is a powerhouse of essential vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber.
Sprouting ragi increases its nutrient content and makes it more digestible. The sprouting process breaks down the complex carbohydrates and proteins present in the grain, making them easier to absorb and digest. Additionally, sprouting increases the availability of certain vitamins, minerals, and enzymes in the grain, making sprouted ragi flour a highly nutritious choice.
Sprouted ragi flour is rich in dietary fiber, which aids in digestion, helps regulate blood sugar levels, and promotes a feeling of fullness. It is also a good source of plant-based protein, providing essential amino acids necessary for muscle growth and repair.
