What does RAGEE mean in Scrabble?
noun
botany
A cereal grass grown chiefly in India and parts of Africa for its small, dark grain, ground into flour and known more widely as finger millet.
Farming communities across the Deccan plateau and the East African highlands have relied on this hardy crop for thousands of years because it tolerates poor soil and drought better than wheat or rice. The dark, tiny seeds are ground into a flour used for porridge, flatbread and a fermented drink in some regions, and the plant is valued for the calcium and iron in its grain. Ragee is one of several English spellings of the same Indian name, alongside forms used in seed catalogues and farming manuals.
