Ragi Stone (Ragi Kal / Thirugai) – The Traditional Grain Grinder for Maximum Nutrition

Bring back the timeless wisdom of traditional Indian kitchens with Herbolaya’s Ragi Stone, also known as Ragi Kal or Thirugai. Handcrafted from natural stone, this age-old grinding tool is designed to gently crush grains like ragi (finger millet) and other millets while preserving their nutritional integrity—unlike modern electric grinders that generate heat and friction, which may degrade essential nutrients.

Rooted in South Indian culinary heritage, this tool ensures not just flavor, but also better nutrition and digestibility. It’s an excellent choice for health-conscious households, especially those preparing wholesome gruels (kanji) or porridge for babies, elders, and anyone on a natural, clean diet.

Why Choose Herbolaya’s Ragi Kal?

✔ Preserves Nutritional Layers of Grains

Modern grinding machines often overprocess grains, stripping away their nutrient-rich outer layers. The stone grinding method used with Ragi Kal applies moderate, even pressure—retaining fiber, micronutrients, and the natural taste of the grain.

✔ Enhances Digestibility and Flavor

Grinding ragi, millets, and spices manually enhances their aroma and makes them easier to digest—ideal for preparing traditional recipes such as ragi kanji, millet porridge, spice blends, and baby food.

✔ Ideal for Infants and Elderly

For toddlers and seniors, the soft texture and nutrient-rich output of stone-ground grains provide the most natural way to nourish the body without additives or preservatives.

✔ Durable and Eco-Friendly

Crafted from solid stone, this Thirugai is built to last for generations. It requires no electricity, making it an eco-conscious and sustainable choice for every household.
