Finger Millet / Ragi Flour (India) and IBS: what to know
These are flour references, not suggested serving sizes for a person and not the weight of a prepared ragi porridge or flatbread. Water and other ingredients change the relationship between ingredient weight and the final dish. The large reference amounts do not mean a meal needs that much flour.
Gut-friendly ways to eat finger millet / ragi flour (india)
For a home recipe, weigh the ragi flour before mixing, then keep a record of how much of the batch you eat. Account for additions separately rather than assuming the flour's rating describes a complete breakfast. Compare roasted rice flour, cassava flour and amaranth flour using their own preparation data.
