Finger Millet Flour

Treedha's Finger Millet Flour, also known as Ragi Atta, Nachni Flour, or Kelvaragu Maavu, originates from the prime growing regions of Karnataka, India, specifically Tumakuru and Mandya. These areas are renowned for cultivating superior quality finger millet, benefiting from ideal climatic conditions and rich soils that contribute to the grain's distinctive nutritional profile and flavour.

Sourcing from these dedicated regions ensures authenticity and consistent quality, critical for bulk buyers. Our direct relationships with growers at origin allow for full traceability and support sustainable agricultural practices, providing importers with a reliable and transparent supply chain for this esteemed ancient grain.

Our Finger Millet Flour is offered as a wholegrain, fine-milled product, adhering to rigorous specifications essential for bulk trade. Key parameters include a purity of 99.5%, ensuring minimal foreign matter, and a maximum moisture content of 12% to guarantee stability and shelf life.

The fine-milled nature of our flour, achieved through traditional stone-grinding, provides a consistent particle size suitable for diverse applications. We conduct lab tests for all shipments to confirm these specifications, along with other critical quality indicators such as aroma, colour, and freedom from infestation.

Treedha's Finger Millet Flour (Ragi Atta) is processed to meet stringent international food safety and compliance standards. We guarantee ethylene-oxide-free (ETO-free) products, which is paramount for imports into the European Union, where ETO is prohibited and strict Maximum Residue Levels (MRLs) apply. For US-bound shipments, we ensure compliance with EPA tolerances for ETO residues.

Our commitment to safety extends to comprehensive testing for aflatoxins, mycotoxins, heavy metals (lead, cadmium, arsenic, mercury), and pesticide MRLs, all verified by NABL-accredited laboratories. We also rigorously test for the absence of Salmonella and Sudan dyes, critical requirements for both EU and US markets. Each bulk shipment is accompanied by a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and a Phytosanitary Certificate issued by the Directorate of Plant Protection, Quarantine & Storage, India, confirming adherence to global regulatory frameworks.

Global demand for Finger Millet Flour (Nachni Flour, Kelvaragu Maavu) is driven by its compelling nutritional profile and rising consumer interest in healthy, gluten-free, and ancient grain options. Its high calcium and iron content, coupled with significant fibre, positions it as a preferred ingredient for health-conscious food product development.

Key export destinations for Indian Ragi Atta include the USA, UK, Germany, Netherlands, Canada, Australia, Singapore, and the Gulf region (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar). These markets show strong demand for versatile flours that cater to dietary preferences, infant nutrition, and the expanding gluten-free food sector. India's national promotion of nutri-cereals like finger millet under the 'Shree Anna' initiative further enhances its international recognition and market penetration.
