A parent’s guide to our three cereals
Ragi, sweet potato and raw Nendran banana — what each one is, and how to prepare it.
Our first range is three single-ingredient cereals. Each is complementary food suitable from six months of age, to be given alongside breastfeeding.
Sprouted Ragi Cereal
100% sprouted finger millet, slow-dried and stone-milled. A gentle, mild everyday porridge. Cook for about 2–3 minutes.
Sweet Potato Cereal
100% sweet potato, gently cooked and milled. Naturally sweet — no sugar needed — with a creamy texture many babies take to easily. Cook for about 2 minutes.
Raw Nendran Banana Cereal
100% raw Nendran banana, a traditional Kerala first food. Filling and energy-giving. Cook a little longer, about 5–6 minutes.
Preparing any of them
- Whisk 2 tablespoons into about 150 ml of water until smooth.
- Cook on a low flame, stirring, for the time above.
- Under 1 year, use water or expressed breast milk / formula — not cow’s milk.
- Cool to a safe temperature and serve fresh.
A note on our guidance. Breastfeeding is best for babies. WHO recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months and continued breastfeeding, alongside safe complementary foods, up to 2 years and beyond.
