Infant Nutrition Upgrade

Infant Nutrition Upgrade

Adding oyster mushrooms to a blended infant flour made from sweet potato, beans, dates, spirulina, and palm oil significantly improved protein quality, essential amino acids, and micronutrient density while meeting international infant nutrition standards. The formulation shows how mushrooms can strengthen affordable, staple-based foods to support healthy growth and reduce malnutrition risk in early childhood.
