A Solution to Malnutrition
Ready to Use Therapeutic Foods (RUTF) are soft or crushable foods that can be consumed easily by children, from the age of six months, without the need of adding water. One type of RUTF is fortified peanut butter paste. This product is a high caloric food supplement consisting of peanut butter paste, powder milk, sugar, vegetable oil and a vitamin/mineral micro nutrient package. The peanuts contain mono-unsaturated fats, are easily digestible, and are high in zinc and protein, which greatly help the immune system. A great benefit to this type of RUTF is that it can be stored without refrigeration for months without spoiling and requires no cooking.
