Moong Ragi Porridge Powder for Babies and Toddlers
Moong or Green Gram is a legume extensively used in baby food. Split green gram or yellow moong is highly recommended during the first few days of solid introduction. Further, you can start giving Green Gram or Whole Moong for babies. Green Gram is high in protein and dietary fiber and it is also good for immunity. Ragi or Finger Millet is another famous baby food ingredient used in this porridge for babies. Ragi is rich in calcium and helps prevent anemia in babies. Together this Moong Ragi Porridge Powder is a great food for babies and toddlers.
Babies, toddlers, kids require a high amount of protein for their overall development. The combination of Moong & Ragi is a protein-rich powder that is very essential for the growth & development of babies and toddlers. This can be given to 6 months + babies after introducing basic solids.
