Re: [pronut-hiv] Likuni Phala (3)

["Herbert Dola" <hdola@kit.handicap-international.or.ke>]

Are there any substitutes that could be used in place of Soy Beans.  I am
thinking of othger grains like Green grams etc.  This is because Soy beans
nay not readily be available in some set-ups and would mean access at an
incresed expense?
Thanks
