New Chena Pradhaman Ada Launched by ICAR-CTCRI
Scientists at the ICAR-CTCRI created a new way to make a tasty treat called ada pradhaman.
They used elephant foot yam to make special flakes that are ready to cook.
This new type of ada is healthier than the old kind.
A company is now selling this new product.
A special person in the government helped launch it.
This new food is good because it has vitamins and minerals.
The ICAR-CTCRI developed a technology for ready-to-cook flakes from elephant foot yam.
These flakes are used to make ada pradhaman, a dish with higher nutritional value.
The technology is licensed for commercial production of shelf-stable flakes.
The product is marketed by Haritha Lakshmi Krishikoottam under the Keralagro brand.
The Deputy Speaker formally launched the product last week.
