👉 Ingestant, also known as a digestible food, is a type of food that is designed to be consumed in the stomach and able to pass through the digestive system without causing significant discomfort. It typically contains nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, and water. Ingestants are often used by infants and children to support their growth and development while they are not yet fully developed enough to consume solid foods.
