BASMATI rice brand Tilda has partnered with Bake Off star Ruby Bhogal and the United Nations World Food Programme for a campaign that aims to help fight malnutrition in Bangladesh.
The ‘Helping Mums Together’ initiative will culminate on Mother’s Day, and Bhogal has created a special Mother’s Day Dish to raise awareness of the campaign.
Bhogal said: “I have developed my Mother’s Day Dish using Tilda rice – an ingredient that is symbolic of essential nutrition.
“By encouraging the UK to follow suit and get cooking this recipe for their own mothers, I truly believe that we can make a direct impact and Help Mums Together this Mother’s Day.”
For every pack of specially marked Tilda Pure Basmati Rice sold, the company will donate the funds to provide at least one nutrition-boosting meal to a new or expectant mother.
This is the fifth year Tilda is partnering with the World Food Programme.
In total they have donated four million nutrition-boosting meals to mothers in need, with 1.8 million more meals projected through this year’s campaign.
Anna Beheshti from Tilda said: “We understand the vital role food plays in bringing families together, and this campaign is one way we can support those for whom good nutrition is not easily accessible.”
Available in multiples and convenience stores nationwide, the specially marked Tilda rice packs will be on shelf from February 25 until the end of April.

Man pleads guilty to crossbow murders of BBC presenter’s family
A 26-YEAR-OLD man on Wednesday pleaded guilty to murdering two daughters of a BBC sports commentator and stabbing to death their mother in a crossbow attack.
Kyle Clifford had previously denied killing Carol Hunt, 61, the wife of horseracing commentator John Hunt, and their daughters, Louise Hunt, 25, and Hannah Hunt, 28.
However, appearing via video link at Cambridge Crown Court in eastern England, Clifford changed his pleas.
The court heard that Clifford tied up Louise Hunt, his former partner, binding her arms and ankles with duct tape before shooting her in the chest with a crossbow at the family home last July.
He pleaded guilty to three counts of murder, one count of false imprisonment, and two counts of possessing offensive weapons. However, Clifford denied raping Louise.
The murders took place at the family home in the commuter town of Bushey, near Watford, northwest of London.
Clifford was arrested in July following a manhunt after the bodies of the three women were discovered.
