Sprouted Sattu Mavu Mix

Sprouted Sattu Mavu | Age group - 8 months plus.

Sattu Mavu is a long hidden secret recipe from down South and has as many as 17 ingredients in every scoop the baby takes.

Many ingredients are sprouted separately, cooked separately, ground separately to keep all the flavours intact, and then mixed in a specific ratio making Sattu Mavu a very tedious meal. And was therefore, lost from our tradition.

But now mothers don’t have to worry about going through that ardent procedure to give their baby a complete balance diet full of protein and nutritions.

You would need a Dehydrating machine to dehydrate (drying the moisture) ingredients. We do not prefer sun drying as sun drying kills 50% of the nutrition value and changes taste. Dust can also sit on the grains if they are kept out for sun drying. If you do not have a dehydrating machine you can get it from online stores like amazon.
