About Finger millet flour

Finger millet flour is a powder milled from finger millet grain, also called ragi. It is generally tan to reddish brown, though colour and coarseness vary with the grain and milling; its flavour is earthy and cereal-like.

It is used in doughs, porridges and batters, with the exact use depending on the recipe and the flour’s grind. It may be milled finely or coarsely and may retain different proportions of the outer grain layers, so not every product has identical texture or colour.
