The Chief Executive Officer of Spectra Industries Limited, Duro Kuteyi, has stressed the need for Nigerians to regularly consume food products made from sorghum and soyabeans such as Hyfiba Sorghum-Soy meal to boost their immune system and wade off coronavirus infections and other health related issues.
He made the call when the company donated a truck load of the product to the Lagos state government as part of its efforts to support the state government to cushion the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic among people in the state.
Kuteyi said that the product, Hyfiba Sorghum-Soy is one of the highly sought food products in the state which is capable of helping to control diabetics, improve digestive health, among other health benefits.
“The product is made from sorghum and soyabean. Sorghum has many health benefits. It is a non-wheat grain that offers a dietary option to people with celiac disease may help control diabetes, improve digestive health, among other benefits.
“According to the USDA National Nutrient Database, sorghum is a powerhouse of nutrients.
