Could ‘Hidden Hunger’ be conquered with a particle the size of a grain of salt? (NPR)

November 18, 2019


National Public Radio (USA) published an article on ways to fortify foods with enough nutrients to make a difference and a taste that consumers would like. According to Senior Research Fellow Purnima Menon, a new product, a microparticle packet of nutrients, might be effective, but the true cost is an unknown issue. “There’s no way to know how much the microparticles might cost to produce at scale or how much they might increase the price of, say, a kilo of cassava flour.” Republished in New Hampshire Public Radio, WEMU, GPB-Georgia Public Radio, and more than 45 other public radio stations.
