While the world promotes "Multigrain Atta," modern nutritional science and traditional wisdom suggest that mixing different millets (like Ragi, Jowar, and Bajra) is a major dietary mistake. 1.

According to research found in the Journal of Food Science and Technology, the starch gelatinization temperature for Pearl Millet (Bajra) differs significantly from Finger Millet (Ragi). The Problem: When mixed, one grain stays raw while the other turns to mush. The Scientific Consequence: Consuming undercooked grains leads to r esistant starch fermentation in the colon, the primary cause of severe flatulence and abdominal pain . 2.
