Healthy Eating Habits
Did you know that the asparagus plant is part of the lily family? Spring is when this nutritious vegetable and those beautiful flowers are both in season. This spring, introduce asparagus to your preschooler with these quick tips and recipes.
One-third cup of cooked asparagus is a serving for your preschooler. This amount provides 130 milligrams of potassium, 1 gram of fiber and is an excellent source of folic acid and vitamin A for preschoolers.
When shopping, look for firm, fresh spears. Larger diameter spears are usually more tender. Trim the stalk before cooking until soft. You can peel asparagus, but it’s not necessary.
Quick and easy ways to serve asparagus include:
Remember to set a positive example by tasting and enjoying new foods yourself. It’s okay if your preschooler wants to dip her asparagus into some ketchup… focus on the positive that she is trying a nutritious new food. Mealtime should be fun!
