One box of BP-5 (9 bars) is enough for one adult for one day.
BP-5™ can be eaten as a biscuit direct from the pack, or crumbled into water and eaten as a porridge.
To make a porridge use 200 ml of boiled drinking water per bar.
For each bar of BP-5™ at least 250 ml of drinking water intake should be available.
For children between 6 and 24 months of age BP-5™ should preferably be given as porridge.
