Well, let me tell you somethin’ about this ragi stuff. They call it finger millet, fancy name, huh? But lemme tell ya, it ain’t nothin’ new. My grandma, and her grandma before her, they all knew about ragi. Back then, we didn’t have all these fancy names, we just called it good food.
Now, everyone’s makin’ a big fuss about it, sayin’ it’s some kinda new health food. Heck, we been eatin’ it forever! It’s good for ya, fills your belly, and keeps ya goin’ all day long. That’s what matters, ain’t it?
They say this ragi is gluten-free. Don’t know much about this gluten thing, but I know my belly feels good after eatin’ ragi. No bloatin’, no fussin’. Just good, honest food. And that’s more than I can say for some of that store-bought bread, you know?
- It fills you up good.
- It don’t cost a fortune.
- Your belly feels happy.
This ragi, it’s got all sorts of good stuff in it. Fiber, they say. Keeps things movin’, if ya know what I mean. And calcium, for strong bones. Iron, to keep ya from feelin’ tired all the time. Protein too, to build ya up. See? Good stuff, I tell ya.
My grandma used to make ragi roti, flatbread kinda thing. Sometimes she’d make porridge, especially for the little ones. Warm and fillin’ on a cold mornin’. You can use the flour to make all sorts of things, I hear. Pancakes, muffins, even cakes! Though I ain’t never tried bakin’ no cake with it, myself. Too much fuss for an old woman like me.
Now, they’re sellin’ ragi flour all over the place. Fancy packages, high prices. Back in my day, we just ground it ourselves. Hard work, but the food tasted better, somehow. Maybe it was the love we put into it, or maybe it was just fresher. Who knows?
But I ain’t complainin’. It’s good that people are learnin’ about ragi again. It’s a good grain, honest and true. And it’s good for ya, too. That’s what matters most, ain’t it? Eatin’ food that makes ya strong and healthy.
So, if you’re lookin’ for somethin’ different, somethin’ healthy, and somethin’ that’ll stick to your ribs, try this ragi stuff. Don’t let the fancy name fool ya. It’s just good, old-fashioned food, the kind our grandmas used to make. And that’s good enough for me.
I tell ya, this ragi, it’s the real deal. Ain’t no fancy stuff, just good food that’s been around forever. And that’s the best kind, if you ask me. So go on, give it a try. Your belly will thank ya.
And remember, it’s gluten-free, whatever that means. All I know is, it’s good for ya and it tastes good too. And that’s all that matters in the end, ain’t it?
