Sprouted Ragi for Babies: Aarav’s First Food and Why It Matters

Sprouted Ragi for Babies: Aarav’s First Food and Why It Matters

🌱 A Small Grain, A Big Beginning

When Aarav turned six months old, his mother searched for a first food that was traditional, gentle, and nourishing—approved by both her grandmother and science. She chose sprouted ragi. That simple choice shaped the start of his food journey.

🌾 Why Sprouting Matters

Raw ragi is powerful, but sprouting transforms it. Soaking and sprouting reduce anti-nutrients and improve absorption of iron, calcium, and zinc. The grain “wakes up,” becoming soft, digestible, and ideal for a baby’s sensitive tummy.

🦷 Growing Strong, Spoon by Spoon

Each spoon of sprouted ragi porridge delivers highly absorbable calcium, supporting bones, teeth, posture, crawling, standing, and those first wobbly steps.

A humble grain, thoughtfully prepared, can make a strong beginning.
