Vegetables carry more “good stuff” in them than Mother Teresa. The irony is that our taste buds are “hardwired” to reject the bitter flavours present in vegetables. The good news? Our mind learns to love them the more we eat them.
For kids consistently eating vegetables at meal times gives the impression that it’s normal to have them there (as well as seeing you eat them). If you find they aren’t eating veges initially, don’t worry, they eventually will, but just in case, we’ve managed to hide a bunch of them in the rest of our meals as well.
