Approx. 60-65% of starch depending on variety of ragi
Ragi, also known as finger millet, is a monocot seed. Monocots are plants whose seeds typically contain only one cotyledon or seed leaf. Ragi belongs to the Poaceae family, which includes other monocotyledonous plants such as wheat, rice, and corn. Dicots, on the other hand, have seeds with two cotyledons.
Dicot
Probably for marketing and health reasons, marketing because they can over hype how much starch it has, health because each amount of starch provides certain health benefits, Biologically because it probably helps separate breeds more effectively? I truly have no idea just a shot in the dark.
Starch is formed in plants through photosynthesis in chloroplasts, where chlorophyll is present. Therefore, areas in a plant where chlorophyll is abundant, such as in leaves and green stems, are also likely to have higher starch storage due to the active photosynthetic process. In contrast, areas with lower chlorophyll content, like roots or storage organs, may have less starch storage.
Starch phosphorylase is primarily involved in starch degradation by catalyzing the conversion of starch to glucose. In vivo starch anabolism involves the synthesis of starch molecules from glucose, which is carried out by enzymes like starch synthase and starch branching enzyme. Therefore, starch phosphorylase is not directly involved in the biosynthesis of starch in living systems.
The starch content of rice varies from one variety to another. One average it just about 70%
Avocados are absent of starch and have a low sugar content.
how do you separate ragi from mustard
Yes, brinjal (eggplant) does contain some starch, although it is not as high in starch content as some other starchy vegetables like potatoes or corn. Starch content can vary depending on the variety of brinjal and how it is prepared.
Oriya translation of Ragi is Mandia.

Many foods have starch but some that are highest in starch content are potatoes and corn.
Potato starch can be used to increase the resistant starch content in food products by incorporating it into recipes during cooking or baking. Resistant starch is a type of starch that resists digestion in the small intestine, providing health benefits such as improved gut health and blood sugar control. By adding potato starch to food products, such as breads, muffins, or soups, the resistant starch content can be boosted, offering a nutritious option for consumers.
