Ragi Pasta is prepared using ragi grains, also known as finger millets. It is brownish-red in colour and thus the colour of pasta too is brown. Ragi is a good source of protein, dietary fiber, calcium, iron, essential vitamins and minerals and must be included in your daily diet in some form. Ragi pasta might take 5-7 minutes extra to cook, as compared to regular pasta. You can also pressure cook the pasta in a cooker for 5-6 whistles. A study published in the Journal of Food Science and Technology found that ragi has high antioxidant capacity and may help protect against oxidative damage and inflammation.
