Finger Millet, Raji 

(90 days) Eleusine coracana -

A Finger millet that is also known as “Ragi”, it is one of the most important coarse cereal crops grown in Himachal Pradesh. Ragi is a staple food in many regions of the state. Raji is a frost sensitive grass that grows to about 30” tall and can be planted at 12” spacing. This crop has excellent storage properties and is resistant to the outbreak of pests. Ragi is full of calcium, protein, and amino acids and is cooked and eaten much as rice is in drier regions of the world where rice will not grow easily.Interestingly, millet is the 5th most commonly cultivated grain crop in the world after wheat, rice, corn and barley. Grain is naturally hulless and easy to grow on a homestead scale for food, poultry feed and decorative accents to bouquets. SSF. HEIRLOOM
