Farinha múltipla
A chamada farinha múltipla ou farinha multimistura é uma tecnologia social difundida como complemento alimentar para o combate à mortalidade infantil.
Geralmente composta por farelos (de arroz, de trigo e/ou de milho), sementes (de abóbora, melancia e/ou gergelim), pó de folhas verde-escuras (de aipim, de batata doce e de abóbora) e cascas de ovos, apresenta variações regionais em termos quantitativos e qualitativos da formulação.

À farinha múltipla é atribuído valor como suplemento/complemento alimentar por conta do teor e variedade dos nutrientes que possui, vindo a sua utilização, por esse motivo, sendo preconizada para recuperação/reequilibrio nutricional. Essas qualidades, aliadas ao seu baixo custo e simplicidade de preparação têm sensibilizado diversas instituições sociais para a utilização desta multimistura no combate à desnutrição, principalmente infantil e outros quadros de carências relacionadas à alimentação.

Explanation:
In this case I think they may be talking about a flour-like dietary supplement developed in Brazil.

The supplement that they advocate, which is called farinha multipla, is a meal, or flour-like substance, that can easily be incorporated in standard diets. Composed of wheat and rice bran, the leaves of manioc, sweet potato, zucchini and the seeds of melons and sunflowers, it is rich in nutrients and food scientists at the Universities of São Paulo and Minas Gerais have determined that it is an entirely safe and effective food supplement.

This book words it as: "a multi-nutrient supplement... called farinha mutipla".
