Abstract
Leaf protein concentrate (LPC) fortified dishes were compared with isoproteinous and isocaloric amounts of milk for the supplementation of the normal diets of the children of a local slum: 40 children were fed LPC-fortified dishes as a supplement and 40 other children were fed milk as a supplement; 20 children who were not given any supplements served as a control group. Data on increases in height and weight and on haemoglobin and red blood cell status confirmed that the LPC-fortified dishes were comparable to milk as a supplement to provide protein, minerals and vitamins to nutritionally inadequate local diets.
