OGMO Jr. (Junior) LIRA

Ingredients – Little millet, raw banana, chickpea (Bengal gram/chana dal)

Introducing your baby to solid foods is an exciting milestone.

What is cuter than a baby covered from head to toe in runny porridge?

It exposes them to new taste, flavours, smell and textures. It also provides necessary nutrients that might otherwise be difficult to fill.

As much as we love the idea of feeding home-cooked baby food to our little ones, for a busy parent, making baby food from scratch can be stressful and time consuming.

OGMO is expanding its portfolio to baby meals and introducing OGMO Jr. using some of our indigenous grains.

OGMO brings you OGMO Jr. a baby cereal prepared with simple plant-based whole food ingredients using some of our indigenous grains..

We use pre-soaked wholegrain to prepare these mixes. The process of soaking transforms the grains into more digestible and increase the minerals and nutrients to manifolds.
