Heritage & History

Ripe plantain is one of the earliest traditional complementary foods introduced in Cameroon due to its naturally sweet taste, soft texture, and high potassium content.

Peel the ripe plantain and carrot half, slice into rounds and steam or boil for about 15 minutes until very tender.

Place the cooked plantain and carrot into a blender with 200 ml of lukewarm cooking water, then blend thoroughly until a silky, smooth porridge texture is achieved.
