Mom is telling me to start having nachni for iron and calcium now that im pregnant. I dont mind it but wanted to ask, is it really that good and how do u all eat it? Roti ya something else?
Beta, nachni is very good for bones as it has lots of calcium. My mother used to make warm ragi malt for me during my days. It is very light on the stomach, just drink it warm and fresh.
Absolutely, ragi is a superfood. It's rich in calcium and helps prevent gestational diabetes too. I used to make ragi rotis instead of wheat. Definitely add it to your daily meal plan.
Nachni or ragi is amazing! I used to have ragi porridge daily during my pregnancy, and even now I make ragi dosa for my toddler. It has so much calcium and iron, definitely include it in your diet.
Nachni is generally considered very healthy and safe. But since I had a very difficult journey with a loss earlier, I was extremely cautious about introducing new grains. Just consult your doctor once to be completely sure it suits your body type.
Yes, ragi is very cheap and much better than expensive health supplements. You can easily buy ragi flour from any local grocery store and mix it with your regular atta. It keeps you full and is great for digestion.
My nutritionist at Cloudnine recommended ragi porridge for breakfast. It's extremely nutritious, but they advised me on the exact portion control. Better to ask your hospital dietician to add it to your customized diet chart.
Yaar, ragi is actually a lifesaver. I used to make nachni satva at home when I had major acidity. It is super cooling for the stomach and healthy too. Try it out!
