Ragi or finger millet is rich in dietary fibre, that are indigestible carbohydrates vital for keeping food moving long in your digestive system at a nice, slow and easy pace. So a meal rich in dietary fibre will be digested slowly and gives one enough energy for strenuous work.

Dietary fibre also helps in regulating blood sugar levels and prevent heart disease. Ragi is also a fairly good source of protein and so an important food for a vegetarian diet.
