Ragi Laddoo Nutrition

We'll break down a ragi laddoo's nutrition and reveal the key tip you can use today.

Verdict

Overall, the laddoo is a decent calcium treat, but remember it's still a sweet with sugar.

Calcium per laddoo

Each 25-gram ball packs about seventy milligrams of calcium, roughly seven percent of an adult's daily need.

Sugar per laddoo

That's about two teaspoons of sugar per piece, so enjoy it in moderation.

Ingredient roles

Ragi flour brings the calcium and fiber. Sesame seeds add more calcium and healthy fats. Jaggery acts as the sweetener and binder.

Making the laddoos

First, dry-roast the sesame seeds until they pop and smell nutty. Next, roast the ragi flour in ghee for ten minutes, stirring constantly. Finally, melt the jaggery with a splash of water until liquid.

Recipe tweaks

Swap white sesame for black to keep calcium near seventy milligrams. Reduce jaggery if you want less sugar, or add ground almonds for a boost of iron.

The one takeaway

Bottom line: a single laddoo gives about seventy milligrams of calcium, roughly twelve percent of a toddler’s daily requirement, making it a modest calcium boost.
