Op, you didn't explain cooking methods o.

Modified on the home page. however this is how to prepare it.

HOW TO PREPARE
1. Dissolve RIETT BREAKFAST CEREAL in cold water to form a thick paste

2. Pour little quantity of boiling water and stir briskly.

3. Send back to fire and let it boil until desired thickness or cooking is achieved. (also stir while it boils)

4. Transfer cooked meal to a dish.

5. Add sugar and milk or any fruit puree to taste.

Good job

Op this looks so good but I wouldn't buy it even if it happens to be cheaper than cheap... IT doesn't look quality to me and I don't see this as a cereal unless we're going to agree that garri,pap,kunu are all cereal?

If you pack it without blending at least I can buy it then blend it myself... Well maybe you should introduce this as well!!

Let me teach you another scope of cereal!!! Buy maize dry it add your wheat then buy banana,coconut, sugar.. Dry them and pack it

I want to start mine vsoon

Well Done OP

I can relate to your product because it is very common in stores here in Kenya. It is locally called uji porridge. It is different mix but l have a preference for Farm Uji Wimbi which is mix of Finger millet, Sorghum, Soyabeans and groundnut. There are those with rice, sweet potatoes, wheat, banana, barley in their mix.

A kilo pack of it sells for 80ksh-100ksh (N160-N200 CBN rate). Kenyans prepares it as thus: water is boiled in a pot while a paste is made mixing the combined flour with lukewarm water, then add the paste to the boiling water and keep stirring till it thickens and brown. It is cooked for 10mins under moderate heat until thickens, then add water to lighten it and leave to boil for an extra minute but since l have the intention of it coming out as pap, l don't add water, it end ups like pap for me but Kenyans make theirs light and some do squeeze lemon into theirs and served in mugs with sugar provided.

My own ends up thick and brown as if l added Bournvita or Milo , I then add sugar and fresh milk and eat it with beans or fried sweet potatoes.

A kilo stays in my kitchen for months because of its long shelf life and I make about 12 "pap" servings from one kilo. I have thought of this as an enterprise that can be introduce into the Nigerian market as this is very hygienic and "pap" only when you want.

Pictures (not mine) of how it turns out.

OP, where is the picture of yours? We want to see how it looks.

I am inspired. We need more producers and less consumers in Nigeria, keep it up! Ensure u pay your tithes. God bless u!

So here is mine

It`s no longer news that we have been encouraged to diversify and look away from oil, and with the scarcity of jobs and even the way those who have a job are being laid off, I decided to give myself and others job. What did I eventually come up with? A breakfast cereal used for making porridge (pap or ogi or akamu)

I'm going to explain how I started mine.

First I learnt how to make the cereal (composition And the process). Then I proceeded to go into the different markets to purchase the different cereals.

unlike the normal cereal we have in the market (I won't call names) that is made up of only maize or some who are kind enough would add soya to the maize and sometimes sugar.

this cereal is made up of highly nutritious components and is rich in iron and fiber contents. Namely:

wheat, millet, Groundnut, Fonio, Tiger nut, E.coracana (Finger millet), Guinea corn, Special white rice & ginger etc.

It is very good for everyone from babies, to children to adults even up to the elderly.


instead of buying pap in the market that has been open and house flies most times perching on it and doing parade, I decided to bring something that is very hygienic and well covered.

It is good for everyone.

I am not saying it cures diabetes or arthritis or ulcer patients, (cause it has not been proven to do that) but it is very good for people suffering from arthritis, ulcer, HBP etc especially when you take the cereal while taking your drugs as prescribed.

it also helps to burn fat and also add weight..

Contradicting right?? Nah!!!!

What I mean is it helps to burn fat for those who are overweight and adds body weight to those who are underweight... Strange but true.

For children and babies, they'll love it very well cos the taste and aroma is second to none.

And for those who need fresh skin? Hmmmm!!! You need to take a look at my skin to confirm it. Those who have met me in person can attest to that


Follow me as I show the process how I packaged it and how to prepare it.

Find below pics of the various components.

Good job!.

What you have done here is that ''you have created original wealth from nature''. And it's the only way Africa can be free from poverty- using what we have to manufacture what we need. Exporting raw materials cannot make us wealthy, rather, it's using our own raw materials to produce what we need that would prosper us. Keep it up!.

Ohk sit down relax ur nerves thrn ask yourself why I would be a bad Belle to op's idea?? I'm an entrepreneur yeah but not into food production talkless of cereal and mind you cereal cost just 1-5 euros depending on your choice... Do u think ppl will take ops cereal in place of our golden morn( even if I don't like golden morn)??

Thanks for your opinion. However you can as well Buy maize dry it add your wheat then buy banana,coconut, sugar.. Dry them and pack it yourself since you`re looking for short-cut. I`m talking about something more nutritious to the body. You can take the two to a doctor or nutritionist to compare and hear what he`ll say.

Cheers.

I know standards in Nigeria are not the same as the west, but technically, that does not qualify as cereal.

You should look at the constructive criticism and use it to improve or rebrand your product rather than just call it negativity.

What you have is in powder form, so its more of a flour than a cereal, which is typically a different texture.

So I decided to look up online again to be sure before I answer you.

Maybe you didn`t look at the pix where it is written "whole-grain cereal flour".

Look at the attached pix and check if you really made sense.

Lol I don't need to do it cos it's already available where I am.. Don't get annoyed I was only giving you my suggestion.. you're a nutrisionist or an expert? No I don't think so cos the recipe I gave you is called musli and the sham you're trying to produce is bullshit and no way musli...approach nafdac and let's see what they hv got to say and mind you attached to this post is musli and proper definition of cereal you're trying to imitate

Now compare them yourself and tell us how d mess you're making is cereal...Not trying to spoil your idea or business sense I was only telling you to make it better and this ain't a big deal cos fruits are cheaper in nigeria

Since you are marketing a product which you want to sell, just take note of the critiques and suggestions about your product and work on them before someone else takes your idea and applies the criticism to the same product then edges you out of your market niche.

Cereal and flour arent supposed to be synonymous terms, you can perhaps produce both separately.

Your packaging is in order (as long as it's either cereal or flour, unless this is a new category recently introduced), its just your product which needs further clarification.
