About Finger Millet (Ragi)
Ragi is a highly nutritious, calcium-rich millet that produces beautiful hand-like grain clusters. Unlike taller millets, ragi is naturally tufted and compact, making it surprisingly adaptable to 12-inch grow bags. Improved blast-resistant varieties are highly recommended to survive the humid UP monsoons.
