Nutrice Cream – A nutrition rich ice cream launched by CSIR-CFTRI

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ICE CREAM!

Imagine eating ice cream every night of the week. This can be a reality when it’s Nutrition-rich!

An ice-cream rich in Omega-3 fat and Vitamin-E was launched by CSIR- Central Food Technological Research Institute (CFTRI), Oleome Biosolutions, Bengaluru and Dairy Classic Ice Creams.

Niti Ayog CEO Amitabh Kanth launched ‘NutriIce Creams’ on the CFTRI campus in the presence of CFTRI Director Ram Rajashekaran and Balaraju, director, Dairy Ice Creams. It has been developed using Chia seeds, having the highest content of Omega-3 fat from a vegetarian source.

Prof. Ram Rajashekaran told The Hindu that CFTRI played the role of a facilitator bringing farmers, scientists and entrepreneurs on a common platform and develop this ‘special’ product. CFTRI has developed agro technology for Chia and has shared the seeds to farmers from across the nation.

The commercial launch of the ice-cream is expected in the next couple of months, said Mr. Balaraju.
