Tasty and without salt.
Kroha still only fed breast milk or milk formula. Believe me, the taste of new products (vegetables, fruits, cereals) is already quite rich, because the taste buds of the baby are very sensitive, not spoiled by sharp seasonings and salt. As the salt not only does not enrich the taste of food, but will spoil it. In addition, salt is found in many products that fall into the baby's menu (bread, cheese, butter) - with them, the crumb gets a sufficient amount of this mineral. But if you are children's dishes all the same, they seem too insipid, and you can not resist the temptation to season them, replace salt with lemon or cranberry juice. It will make the taste of food more expressive, enrich with useful vitamin C. Salt in the baby's diet should be introduced gradually and in small amounts, as its excess creates an extra burden on the kidneys and can cause a number of health problems. It seems to you that non-salted dishes are not tasty and the child will not want to eat them, but the kid has never tasted these dishes salted and has nothing to compare with.
With garlic
Garlic is rightly considered a natural antibiotic, because it has antibacterial properties. Therefore, in the autumn winter period, garlic must be present in the baby's diet (but in small amounts) in order to protect the baby from possible infections. Garlic can be added to the cottage cheese and olive oil, which you fill salads from fresh boiled vegetables, used as a seasoning for meat. Add garlic to borsch or stewed vegetables. To soften the sharp taste and smell of garlic, do not give it in its raw form, but add boiled and stewed dishes at the end of cooking. True, when heat treated, garlic loses some valuable substances, but its taste and smell become less pronounced.
Aromatic grass.
Add flavorful herbs to children's dishes. Very useful parsley, it strengthens the hair, improves their appearance. Dill beneficially affects the work of the intestines, helps to remove gases. Parsley and dill can be added to salads, soups, vegetable and meat dishes. Do not forget about the basilica - it prevents swelling, relieves inflammation and spasms. Basil comes to almost everything: to meat, fish, stewed vegetables, salads. Baby dishes can also be seasoned with thyme, ginger, cumin, cloves, bay leaves, anise, marjoram and vanilla.
To fresh herbs that you add to children's food, keep as many useful substances as possible and do not lose their delicious flavor, add them to the dishes after cooking or at least at the last stage of cooking. And it is better to sprinkle the meal finely chopped fresh greens immediately before serving.
Careful chemistry.
In no case do not give the baby foods that contain artificial flavors, preservatives, dyes, flavor enhancers. These substances can cause allergic reactions and pain in the tummy. As a rule, they are contained in sausages, sausages, long-term confectionery products, chips, crackers, carbonated drinks. Try to protect your baby from these products. Also, you can not feed your baby with factory canned meat or fish that are not suitable for baby food.
A little sweet.
Many dishes, including meat, can be seasoned with honey. It contains enzymes that make life difficult for microorganisms. But, unfortunately, honey is a strong allergen, so you need to carefully enter it into the baby's diet. A one-year-old child can be given no more than a teaspoon of honey a day. Also, children can get to know the sweetish taste of cinnamon. This seasoning is very useful: it improves digestion, strengthens appetite, helps with diarrhea.
Useful dried fruits.
Many dishes (both meat and desserts) will become more tasty and useful if you add raisins, prunes, dried apricots in them. Dried apricots, for example, are a rich source of potassium and dietary fiber, helps to cleanse the body, strengthens the immune system. Raisins improves intestinal peristalsis.
