Ragi is considered a ‘superfood’ as it has 10 times higher calcium content than other grains. Turning regular ragi grains into “sprouted ragi” can have some pretty intriguing nutritional benefits. Once, you soak the ragi grains, they germinate. Sprouts consume some of the grain’s starch, thereby altering the food’s nutritional content. This process of changing ragi grains to tiny little plants is quick and easy, but the nutritional benefits are huge.
