Ragi Laddoo: Iron & Calcium Everyday Energy

Ragi — finger millet — has been grown in the Deccan plateau for over 4,000 years, and there's a reason it never went away. It has more calcium than milk, more iron than most grains, and a low glycemic index that keeps energy steady rather than spiking. In Karnataka and Maharashtra, ragi is everyday food — not a superfood trend. We've sweetened this with dates rather than jaggery because dates add natural fructose that binds the laddoo without any cooking, keeping the ragi's nutrients intact and giving you a slow, sustained energy release.
