Healthy Whole Grain Salad
Ragi is an excellent source of dietary fibre, which promotes digestive health, helps lower blood cholesterol and blood sugar levels, aids in weight management and encourages regular bowel movements. Even though they are rich in carbohydrates, they have a low glycemic index which helps the glucose release into the bloodstream slowly. The nutrients are left untouched since they are not processed and provide selenium, manganese, folic acid, protein, B-complex vitamins, and vitamin E. Cooked wheat makes a delicious salad combined with tomatoes and cucumbers which are loaded with antioxidants and phytonutrients.
