Nutrimeal - Tagged as food supplement for the poor

From the inquirer , this is a good story on certain efforts to address malnutrition and hunger. I also caught a news bite of this on TV today.

Nutrimeal is a combination of vegetables and grains, mixed together, dried and ground/powdered.

Reyes said that Nutrimeal has been approved by the Bureau of Food and Drugs (BFAD) and its ingredients include rice, mongo beans, carrots, sesame seeds, and horse radish. Protein, carbohydrates, and beta carotene are the nutrients derived from these ingredients, she added.

“Vegetables are peeled, sliced, and dried in the solar panels and were brought to the kitchen where they may be ground, diced, or shredded according to the needs of the products. The processed rice and beans are then stored in the bins and packed,” Reyes said.

I hope this works and becomes available to many people.
