My mom keeps telling me to have ragi for calcium and iron, she makes nachni satva and dosa. I do like it but wanted to check if its actually fine to have regularly during these months. anyone having it daily?
Yes ragi is lovely in pregnancy, lots of calcium and iron. We make ragi porridge at home, nice and light on stomach. I had it for breakfast often. Just keep it fresh and warm.
Ragi is a healthy grain and was actually good for me with sugar issues since its high fibre. I had it as roti and dosa. If u have any blood sugar concern its a nice option but still keep portions sensible.
Haan yaar nachni is actually super good, my mom kept making nachni satva for me. Good for hemoglobin also. Just dont overdo, one serving a day is plenty.
In our side nachni is given a lot to pregnant girls, especially for strength and calcium. Ragi ladoo, porridge all good. Old wisdom and healthy too. Just have it cooked well.
