Abstract

The present invention relates 10 a shelf-stable, organic, all-natural nutritional food powder composition rich in dietary fiber, macro-nutrients (proteins, fats, carbohydrates), micro-nutrients (vitamins, minerals), and bioactive compounds. The composition 18 formulated from a balanced blend of locally sourced natural ingredients categorized into: cereals (wheat, barley, red teff), root and tuber crops (anchote, taro, sweet potato), legumes (beans, soybeans), oilseeds (peanut), vegetables and fruits (carrots, cabbages, pumpkin, orange), animal protein (milled dried meat), natural sweeteners (honey), and functional spices (garlic, onion, chili, ginger, and salt). The manufacturing process comprises sequential steps of sorting, soaking, washing, boiling, mashing / cutting, peeling, roasting, sun-drying, re-mixing, and packaging. The resulting composition is chemical-free, refined sugar-free, additive-free, and suitable for direct or indirect consumption across all age groups, including infants, pregnant women, adults, and emergency / displaced populations requiring rapid nutritional intervention.
