Ancient Wisdom. Modern Nutrition. Maximised Absorption.
The Ancient Grains Duo pairs Sprouted Ragi Flour and the 17-ingredient Sathumaavu Mix for the most comprehensive ancient grain nutrition from 6 months. Sprouted Ragi Flour is made from germinated finger millet — sprouting dramatically increases calcium and iron bioavailability by reducing phytic acid (the anti-nutrient that blocks mineral absorption). Sathumaavu Mix delivers 17 ingredients including ancient millets, protein-rich pulses, and nutrient-dense nuts and seeds — the traditional Tamil Nadu multi-grain baby food formulated with modern nutritional precision. Together they form the most complete, bioavailable ancient grain foundation for growing babies.
- Sprouted Ragi Flour — Calcium & Iron, Maximally Absorbed: Sprouting reduces phytic acid by up to 50%, dramatically increasing bioavailability of ragi's 344mg/100g calcium and iron. Activates digestive enzymes, increases Vitamin C content, and improves digestibility significantly over regular ragi flour.
- Sathumaavu Mix — The Complete 17-Ingredient Blend: The time-tested Tamil Nadu multi-grain baby food tradition — 17 carefully balanced ingredients: 4 ancient millets, 5 protein-rich pulses, 6 nuts and seeds, 2 grains. Every ingredient serves a precise nutritional purpose.
- Zero Compromise on Both: No added sugar, no salt, no preservatives, no artificial flavours. Both from real whole-food ingredients that Indian families have trusted for generations.

② Sathumaavu Mix — How to Prepare
💡 Tips for Best Results
- Use Sprouted Ragi Flour in morning porridge and Sathumaavu Mix in evening porridge for maximum nutritional variety and complementary mineral coverage.
- Start with 1 tablespoon each daily from 6 months; increase to 2-3 tablespoons as appetite grows.
- Add small squeeze of orange juice or amla to either porridge — Vitamin C dramatically enhances non-haem iron absorption.
- Sprouted Ragi mixed 50:50 with Sathumaavu creates a super-porridge combining calcium bioavailability with multi-grain breadth.
- Both are versatile flours — use in roti dough, dosa batter, pancake mix for invisible nutrition enrichment.
- Introduce one product at a time. Start with Sprouted Ragi Flour for 3-4 days before introducing Sathumaavu.
Ancient Grains, Modern Growth —
Month by Month
Based on nutritionist guidance for babies consuming Sprouted Ragi Flour and Sathumaavu Mix daily — how combined nutrients support bone health, brain development, and growth at each stage.
First Ancient Grains & Gentle Calcium
Start Sprouted Ragi Flour first — 1 tablespoon thinned with breast milk. Sprouted form gentler on new guts while providing maximally bioavailable calcium. After 3-4 days, introduce 1 tablespoon Sathumaavu.
Protein, Iron & Neural Connections
Increase both to 2 tablespoons. Combined protein from Sathumaavu's 5 pulses and nuts, alongside iron from sprouted ragi and kulthi dal, builds lean muscle and haemoglobin.
Bone Density, Active Growth & Gut Strength
At 2-3 tablespoons daily, switch to full-fat cow's milk. Calcium compounds over months of consistent intake. Diverse fibre from both products benefits gut microbiome.
Versatile Meals & Lifelong Food Habits
Use Sprouted Ragi in rotis and dosas. Sathumaavu in pancakes and idlis. Together providing complete coverage for every traditional meal type, building a lifelong relationship with ancient Indian grains.
