The Art of Crafting Sprouted Kambu Powder for Growing Champions!

Hey Health-Savvy Parents! Ready to uncover how we turn ancient kambu ( pearl millet) into a modern-day superhero for your little one? At The Tiny Scoops, we’re all about blending tradition with science—let’s dive into our sprouted kambu magic!

preparation and processing: sourcing, washing& soaking, sprouting, drying, grinding & sieving

Step 1: Sourcing the Best Pearl Millet

We partner with local farmers to handpick native kambu (pearl millet) —plump, organic, and grown under the blazing sun. No hybrids, no shortcuts. Just grains that’ve weathered the elements to pack a nutritional punch!

Step 2: Washing & Soaking – The Clean Slate

• Triple Rinse: Kambu is washed thrice to bid farewell to dust and impurities.

• Overnight Soak: Soaked in filtered water to soften the outer layer and wake up those sleepy grains for sprouting!

Step 3: Sprouting – Where the Nutrient Party Begins!

• Dark Room Magic: Spread soaked kambu on moist muslin cloths and tucked into a warm, dark room for 48 hours. This slow dance with darkness coaxes out tiny, vibrant sprouts (nature’s “thumbs up” for perfect germination!).

• Phytic Acid? Bye!: Sprouting slashes anti-nutrients by 50%, freeing up iron, zinc, and calcium for tiny bodies to absorb.

Fun Fact: Our sprouts grow just enough to unlock nutrients—no overgrown bits here! 🌱

Step 4: Sun-Drying – Locking in Goodness

• Golden Glow: Fresh sprouts bask under the Indian sun until crisp and golden-yellow. Sun-drying preserves heat-sensitive nutrients (like B vitamins) that machines might zap away.

• Crunch Test: We check every batch—snap a sprout, hear the crunch? It’s ready!

Step 5: Grinding & Sieving – Silky Smooth for Tiny Mouths

• Stone-Ground Love: Sprouted kambu is grindedd slowly to avoid overheating, keeping nutrients intact.

• Double Sieving: Powder passes through ultra-fine mesh twice. Yes, we lose 20%—but grittiness? Never!

Why It Matters: Velvety texture means happy babies and no mealtime battles! 👶
