Reviving the lost knowledge on traditional food with a modern touch and Love", Says Swati Udhyakumar, Founder,Sproutfully

Being a First Time Mom is Vague to a Woman-An emotional, inexperienced with almost no learnings on things happening around, but wants the best for her child. This becomes difficult if there are no elders in the family with the knowledge of what should be done and how a baby or mother should be looked after. I was blessed to have a mom who knew how a mother should be looked after Post pregnancy but alas! my mother didn't know what should be given to the baby apart from plain Ragi.  To add on to this my daughter was born with reflex, almost every feed was a nightmare which ended up with vomiting. Swathi Udhyakumar, Founder, Sprotfully As per the Pediatric suggestion, we gave her instant processed food available in the market which did not help her apart from filling her little tummy. We were not satisfied ultimately as we saw no improvement. This was when traditional food helped her. Thanks to my mother in law who was knowledgeable, experienced with the traditional lost recipes passed on to her from ancestors and she knew what right foods should be given to the baby. Her recipe helped my daughter a lot in terms of health and gaining weight. Even with reflex, she could sustain the food given and it became a boon to my daughter who was struggling to have food. After noticing a good improvement in my own daughter, during a casual discussion between me and my husband we understood the challenges on how other first-time moms must be struggling. Giving it a no single thought we decided it’s the right decision to help other struggling moms. I slowly started reading on grains, nutrition, combinations and after a lot of trials at home came up with the best combination in terms of digestion, nutrition, and Cleanliness which can suit all ages", Swathi Udhyakumar, founder, Sproutfully expressed. She added that a mom is happy when her child is healthy. Sproutfully Products Challenges: 

• Giving the best nutrition to the customers who are mostly babies and toddlers is quite challenging.
• As our products can be used by a baby we need to make sure the quality can never be compromised.
• Keeping the products preservative-free - As the products are organic and natural in nature it tends to spoil quickly hence keeping the products preservative-free and maintaining the same is a big challenge. "The customers understand the same and I make sure to offer freshly made products always and we replace it in case of problems", Swati added.
• Searching for nutrition available from our own kitchen.
• Creating awareness and the importance of nutrition through traditional food. As people are so inclined to easy food it has become a big challenge to explain and educate the importance.

We Overcome our challenges by Learning from my customers. Studying more about nutrition, attending workshops and campaigns, talking to food nutritionists, Farmers, agriculturists, food technologists. We are following the kaizen model - a famous Japanese work model. Sproutfully Products Products:  Our products are divided into standard and custom products.
