The whole grain goes into the mill — bran, germ and all — so the flour is the natural greyish-brown of ragi rather than the pale, sifted version. Ground fresh because wholegrain flour carries the germ, and the germ is what goes rancid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"blk\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow we make it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinger millet is cleaned, stone-sorted and washed, then dried and stone-ground. Stone grinding runs cooler and slower than a plate mill, which matters for a wholegrain flour: heat damages the fats in the germ and shortens the flour's life before you have even taken it home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"blk\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat goes in, what stays out\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne ingredient: finger millet. No maida or rice flour cut in, no bleaching, no improver, no anti-caking agent.
