🥕 Whole Health Tip 🥕
Did you know kids are up to 80% more likely to try new foods when they’ve helped prepare them? 👩🍳👨🍳
Research backs it up - studies in journals like Appetite, Public Health Nutrition and the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior have all shown that children who help with cooking eat more fruit and vegetables, have better long-term eating habits, and feel more confident around food. 🍓🥦
Even small jobs like washing veggies, stirring sauce or setting the table make a big difference - turning mealtimes into moments of learning, connection and pride.
Cooking together isn’t just about the meal – it’s about raising curious, capable, and healthy little humans. 💚
