Anything that's green and doesn't smell good is any kid’s worst enemy. Few children will eat a plate of veggies without making a fuss. Considering it a losing battle, many parents give up – but really you just need to try inventing or making a recipe that they’ll actually like!
That’s why we’ve collected five delicious recipes – all based on cauliflower – to get even the most skeptical children to fall in love with this super-nutritious vegetable!
It’s also essential that you don’t cook the cauliflower in front of the kids; never underestimate the odorous powers of cauliflower’s particular stench – a factor that definitely won’t play in your favor. Boil them first and then use the cooked cauliflower in one of our delicious recipes.
Because cauliflower is good for children
Cauliflower is a vegetable rich in nutrients. It contains vitamin C, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, iron, folic acid, and many other active anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory ingredients. Cauliflower juice is also considered a very effective natural remedy for colds – a little known fact to consider next time you’re feeling under the weather. Just blend some cauliflower florets and dilute two to three tablespoons of the juice with water and honey.
We know; it doesn’t taste all that great, but it’s worth it! Just plug your nose and swallow it like cough syrup.
"Cauliflower stinks!"
Children don't like cauliflower – especially because they smell so bad while cooking. As we already mentioned, it’s important to boil them while the kids aren’t present. Air the room out and once you finish cooking them and make one of our delicious recipes suitable for children. Something crunchy like a baked meatball or creamy like mashed potatoes and maybe even a pizza! And why not? With cauliflower – and with all vegetables in general – you can make real delicacies that are childproof at the same time!
Always remember that children eat first with their eyes – so make sure the presentation is fun for them. Keywords: color and imagination.
