Atmit

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Atmit is a nutritional supplement used to fight famine in impoverished countries. The word atmit originated in Ethiopia and means "thin, nourishing porridge."

Charity and relief organizations have created various formulas for this porridge. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints formula of atmit, which was sent in 2005 to Niger was made of the following:

• 50% Fine oatmeal flour
• 25% Nonfat milk
• 20% Sugar
• 5% Vitamins and minerals

Recently, atmit has been distributed to Uganda, Sudan, South Africa, Haiti, Gaza, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Sri Lanka and Niger.
