## Tips

- Using sprouted ragi flour increases vitamin C levels and leads to easier absorption of iron into the bloodstream.
- Ragi is one of the very few natural sources of vitamin D.
- Soak almonds overnight to release phytic acid and help with better nutrient absorption.
- A good source of healthy fat like almonds is important for vitamin D assimilation.
- Medjool dates are preferred for their softness and easy blendability.
