Plumpynut is a simple mixture of peanut butter, powdered milk, and powdered sugar that has been enriched with vitamins. It was created by Nutriset and has been advocated by the Nobel Prize winning group Doctors Without Borders. Plumpynut has proven to be a miracle food in areas where malnutrition in both children and adults is high.

Plumpynut has proven itself to be an effective way to feed starving children. It doesn't require refrigeration or water so it can be stored safely for months. It is a paste that is easy to feed to babies. Children love it because it is sweet and requires no preparation. It can be eaten straight out of the packet or tub.

Plumpynut is also extremely cost effective. A $20 supply can feed one child for a month. Three weeks is the average amount of time that it takes to pull a child from starvation and malnutrition.
