India Returns To Ragi

Employees prepare pancakes made from millet at the Vaathsalya Millet Cafe in Bengaluru, India, on Saturday, June 10, 2017. Millets were a staple in India for thousands of years, but largely spurned since a so-called Green Revolution last century led to cheaper, more abundant supplies of refined rice and wheat flour that can bolster blood-sugar. Now a surge in type-2 diabetes is pushing doctors and government officials to recommend a return to wholegrains, like ragi or finger millet, that healthfully sustained previous generations.
