Scientific Name: Eleusine coracana
Eleusine coracana, or finger
millet, also known as ragi in India, kodo in Nepal, is an
annual herbaceous plant widely grown as a cereal crop in the arid and semiarid
areas in Africa and Asia. It is a tetraploid and self-pollinating species
probably evolved from its wild relative Eleusine Africana. There are various

India, on pediatrician’s recommendation, finger millet is used in preparing
baby food, because of millet’s high nutritional content, especially iron and
calcium..
