Six weaning food formulations F1-F6 composed of wheat (50-55;), de-hulled broad beans (15-35;), sesame (5-10;), fenugreek (0-15;), skim milk (0-8 ;), sugar (4 ;), groundnut oil (1.5 ;) and vitamins/salt mixture (1.5;); were selected for calculated amino acid scores and energy values. They were processed using the roller drum-drying technique. Protein content of processed formulations F1-F6 was found in the range of 17.4 to 18.5; and energy value from 346 to 372 Kcal/100g. Viscosity at 12.5; gruel concentration ranged from 2600 to 8350 cp for F5 and F3 respectively. The high viscosity of F3 can be related to its fenugreek content (15 ;). Weaning food formulations including wheat, de-hulled broad beans and sesame with fenugreek at zero and 5; level showed acceptable characteristics and high nutritive value
