Ragi malt is a malted finger millet product made by taking ragi through a controlled malting process and then grinding it into a fine powder.
What is inside?
This product is planned as a single-ingredient product made from ragi (finger millet), subject to the final approved formulation.
How is it different?
Ragi Malt is distinct from regular Ragi Flour and from Sprouted Ragi Flour because malting is a separate processing concept.
What Is Ragi Malt?
Ragi Malt is a malted finger millet preparation. Unlike regular ragi flour, which is produced by milling dried ragi grains, ragi malt involves a malting process before the grain is ground into powder.
Traditional ragi malt preparation involves soaking and germinating good-quality ragi, followed by drying, removal of rootlets, mild toasting or kilning and grinding. The exact processing conditions should depend on the manufacturer’s validated process.
The resulting malt powder can be used as an ingredient for preparing ragi malt drinks, porridges and other food preparations.
