Kids and vegetables

Share this story...

It may be better to teach children to eat vegetables, rather than hide them in their food.

Researchers had a group of children taste things like broccoli gingerbread spice cake, or chickpea chocolate chip cookies.

There were two samples of each; one sample was labeled while the other wasn’t.

Researchers found the taste preference didn’t differ but children did prefer the un-labeled version of the chickpea cookies.
