Re: [pronut-hiv] Plumpynut to PLWHA (2)

["Kristof & Stacia Nordin" <nordin@eomw.net>]

There has been trials going on in Malawi with plumpy nut and other 'plumpy'
products as well.  There are many foods that can make a nice 'plumpy' paste
such as sesame seeds, pumpkin seed, sunflower seed, coconut, etc.

The CTC project here at the Ministry of Health can also provide you with
information.

I will forward this e-mail to the appropriate people to see if they can
chime in.
