(Often called " Infant Foods" or " Prepared Baby Foods ")

Prepared farinaceous foods are made by the following methods: 1. Application of heat alone. 2. Digestion with malt or diastase combined with heat. 3. After dextrinisation, the food is evaporated with milk or cream.

The prepared farinaceous foods may be eaten alone or diluted with water, but they are usually given to invalids in a cup of broth or beef tea, which disguises their sweetness. The sweeter varieties are best combined with milk.
