Millets and me
When my firstborn started on solids, I began searching for healthy homemade alternatives to store-bought baby food. That’s when I came across “sathu maavu”, a traditional baby food. It is a wholesome baby meal consisting of 20-25 ingredients, including an assortment of millets, pulses and nuts. Several of the ingredients are sprouted and toasted before use, in order to improve digestibility and bioavailability of nutrients. Sathu maavu was the one thing that made me a passionate advocate of millets; it literally fueled my son’s inexhaustible energy!
