Ragi Flour, also known as Finger Millet Flour, is made from ragi (finger millet) and is a versatile traditional flour used in many Indian recipes.
At Sampoorna Swadesi, our flours are made from grains and pulses sourced through our farming network. We focus on using unpolished, traditional/indigenous grains and maintaining the natural character of the raw material.
From Grain to Flour
Our flours are made from grains and pulses cultivated by different farming families.
Different crops require different soil, climate and growing conditions, so we source suitable grains and pulses from different farmers and locations.
For our flour range, our focus is on:
Unpolished grains
Traditional / indigenous varieties
Careful selection of raw materials
Milling the grain into flour
No intentional adulteration
Because naturally handled grains can vary from batch to batch, you may notice differences in:
Colour
Aroma
Texture
Fineness
Moisture
Cooking characteristics
These natural variations do not necessarily indicate a quality problem.
We do not call our products “organic” because we do not have organic certification. Our focus is on the source of the grain and the traditional nature of the raw material.
Why You May Occasionally See Black Storage Pests
Customers may occasionally notice small black storage insects/pests in flours and other grain products.
We want our customers to understand that the occasional presence of a storage insect does not automatically mean the flour has been adulterated.
Stored grains can naturally attract insects, particularly in warm and humid conditions. They may become visible only after some time.
Because we do not rely on chemical pest-control treatments as a preservation method, occasional storage pests can occur.
Proper Storage
After opening:
Keep Ragi Flour in a clean, dry, airtight container.
Store it in a cool, dry place.
Protect it from moisture and humidity.
Always use a clean, dry spoon.
Check the flour before use.
How to Use Ragi Flour
Ragi Flour can be used in many traditional and everyday preparations, including:
Ragi dosa
Ragi idli
Ragi roti
Ragi mudde
Ragi porridge
Ragi malt
Ragi pancakes
Ragi-based snacks and baked preparations
It can be used in both traditional recipes and modern everyday cooking.
Our Flour & Preservation Approach
We prefer natural handling and storage practices rather than depending on chemical preservatives.
As a result, natural differences may occur between batches in colour, aroma, texture and fineness.
Proper storage after opening is important to help maintain the quality of the flour.
Replacement Policy
We generally do not replace Ragi Flour for normal natural variation or occasional storage insects.
However, if you notice a genuine quality problem such as:
Visible fungus or mould
White worms/larvae
Significant deterioration of the flour
please contact us with clear photographs and your order details. The issue will be reviewed and replacement will be considered where appropriate.
