Ragi porridge is a common first food in Indian homes, and many parents ask which ragi flour is best for a baby. When to start solids, and how thick to make the porridge, is a question for your paediatrician. We make no claims for our flour for babies.
Our millet flours are made from unpolished millets: the grain’s bran layer has not been polished away. No pesticides or chemicals used: the farmers who grow the millet do not use pesticides, and we do not fumigate or chemically treat our stock. Keep flour in an airtight container in a cool, dry place and use a dry spoon; in hot or humid weather, the fridge helps. Use it within about three months of buying. Whole-grain flour can turn stale, so if it smells bitter or musty, it is past its best.
