Which of the following food items is used in menus like in "Balahar" under National Nutrition Programs?

  • A.Sprouts
  • B.Groundnut
  • C.Soybean
  • D.Jaggery

Answer: B

The food item is Groundnut.

Balahar is a low-cost processed supplementary food introduced under India's nutrition programmes in the 1960s and 1970s. It is a blend of cereal (mainly wheat), pulse (Bengal gram) and groundnut, fortified with vitamins and minerals, to supply protein and calories to young children.

Sprouts, soybean and jaggery are nutritious foods but they are not the ingredients that define the Balahar mix named in the question.
