      We all know Ragi is a hard to digest food, good for diabetic people and it digest slow…  how can it be good for babies?  The secret is, for Ragi Malt we use sprouted Ragi which makes it as a very light food for babies to digest.  Benefits are:

• ·         Its a good source of Calcium.
• ·         It is a good source of Protein.
• ·         If we are adding Jagarry then it will be a good source of Iron too.
• ·         It has natural fiber.
• ·         Good source of whole grain.
• ·         It contains good fat(Almond and Ghee) which is very much needed for brain development.

Last but not the least it’s a homemade cereal for our little babies.   The best time to start Ragi malt is during 5^th or 6^th month.
