Fruits and vegetables are essential allies for the well-being of children, especially in the warmer months. Choose them in season and pay attention to the colors: even the little ones will love them.
From the first months of life, it is important that a child's diet includes fruit and vegetables, which provide the body with the necessary vitamins, help prevent constipation and fight diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular disease. During the warmer months, in particular, the body needs to take these foods in greater quantities: in fact, in the summer, a surplus of hydration and a balanced diet based on fresh, light and digestible ingredients are essential. .
Which ones to choose?
The choice should always fall on seasonal fruit and vegetables . Today, however, practically any ingredient can be purchased in the supermarket all year round, which is why the concept of seasonality has largely been lost. A concept that is good to rediscover to offer the maximum taste and freshness on the table every day, first of all to our children. Only if they are in season, fruit and vegetables retain 100% of their flavor - even children will notice it - and it is possible to benefit to the maximum from their nutritional value , while ensuring the convenience of the purchase. Early and late foods, in fact, are usually more expensive and lower in quality than those in season. Also note the variety of fruits and vegetables available in the summer months: an excellent support for diversifying recipes and increasing the well-being of the whole family.
