Kurakkan, which is known as finger millet or ragi (Scientifically known as Eleusine coracana) is widely grown as a cereal crop in some parts of the world but has been used as a staple in Sri Lanka over centuries. Our Lakpura Kurakkan Flour is manufactured methodically where the whole grains are thoroughly screened, washed and dried before the milling process. This enables us to get rid of all kinds of impurities while hygiene is considered as top priority in doing so.
Kurakkan flour is usually used to cook up roti, porridge, pittu and even sweetmeats during the festive Sinhala and Tamil New Year. It is much loved by Sri Lankans for its unique taste and many nutritional benefits such as vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants. It’s rich in calcium which directly helps in bone health, plenty of dietary fibre to help in the digestive system and constipation issues while it aids to control blood sugar levels making it the prefect addition to your daily diet, especially if you are suffering from diabetes. This gluten free flour is also rich in iron and anti-oxidants which can help fight chronic diseases. Its low glycemic index helps you to keep your blood sugar levels healthy.
