Grassroots Organic Farms Raagi Flour
Crafted with care and tradition, our Raagi Flour is slow-ground using our unique natural stone mill at low RPM. This gentle process, done at near room temperature, ensures that the flour retains its full spectrum of nutrients, providing you with the purest form of this ancient grain. Unlike conventional high-speed milling, which generates heat and strips away the flour's natural goodness, our traditional method preserves all the vital fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
Why Our Slow Grinding Process Matters
At Grassroots Organic Farms, we believe in honoring the heritage of finger millet by using time-honored methods. Raagi is a delicate ancient grain that needs slow processing to maintain its natural health benefits. Our stone mill prevents overheating, keeping the flour rich in its natural properties. High-speed mills not only overheat but also wear into the flour, compromising both quality and nutrition. By adopting a traditional low-RPM process, we protect the grain’s integrity, ensuring that every bit of nourishment reaches you untouched.

Finger millet (also known as ragi) is a highly nutritious cereal that has been a staple in many parts of Asia and Africa, especially for its high content of calcium, fiber, and antioxidants. Stone-ground flour extraction is a traditional milling method where grains are ground between two large stones, which is believed to retain more nutrients and preserve the flour's natural qualities. Here are the key health benefits of finger millet flour when extracted using this traditional stone-ground method:
1. Nutrient Retention
- Higher Nutritional Value: Stone-ground milling generates less heat compared to modern roller mills, which helps preserve the delicate nutrients in the flour. This results in a higher retention of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
- Mineral Preservation: Ragi is rich in essential minerals like calcium, iron, potassium, and magnesium. Stone-ground flour extraction is more likely to retain these minerals, especially calcium, which is critical for bone health.
