Millets from India: Ragi, Foxtail Millet and What to Check

• Ragi (finger millet) — a small, dark reddish-brown grain grown mainly in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, most commonly milled into flour for porridge, rotis and infant/weaning foods across South Asia, though it's also supplied as whole grain.
• Foxtail millet — a small, pale yellow grain grown across Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, typically supplied and cooked as a whole-grain rice substitute in South Indian tiffin-style dishes rather than milled into flour.

If your buyer wants flour specifically, that's a Ragi-specific request — Foxtail millet in this catalogue is supplied as whole grain only. Confirm which grain and which form you need at enquiry stage rather than treating "millet" as a single specification.

These parameters are confirmed per lot at the enquiry stage, the same way they are for every other product in this catalogue — a specification sheet is a starting point for a conversation with the supplying source, not a guaranteed figure independent of the actual harvest and lot.

Millets are widely marketed internationally as a high-fibre, gluten-free health grain, and momentum from 2023's UN-recognised International Year of Millets has kept buyer interest in that positioning high. We don't make health or nutrition claims on our own product listing, and what claims are actually permissible on packaging or marketing in your destination market is a labelling-law question for that market, not something a supplier can certify on your behalf. Confirm what your destination's food-labelling authority permits before printing a health claim on retail packaging.

Millets are supplied in retail pouches for direct retail buyers and 25–50 kg bulk PP bags for wholesale and food-processing buyers, with minimum order quantity confirmed per order, form (grain vs. flour) and destination — see our MOQ and container load guide for how packaging format changes minimum order economics.
