A WHOLESOME FOOD FOR YOUR CHILD

In order to make delicious dishes that your kids will love, 100% Pure Maple Syrup from Canada is your ‘magical’ go-to ingredient

It is a known fact that what we eat as children shapes much of what we eat as adults. Therefore, it’s important to develop healthy eating habits during the foundation years. By teaching your children how to eat healthy and modelling these behaviours in yourself, you may help them maintain their energy levels, sharpen their minds and ensure their healthy growth. The early adoption of natural foods is not only ideal, but it is also the fundamental building block for a healthy lifestyle in the future. 100% pure maple syrup plays a crucial role in this aspect of healthier and nutritious food choices for kids.

Whether your children are toddlers or teenagers, they develop a natural preference for foods they enjoy most – these preferences ‘tie-back’ mostly to taste. So, the real challenge here is to encourage healthy eating habits while making nutritious food delicious. Nutrient-packed pure maple syrup is not just a healthier alternative to refined sugar, but it also tastes divine and can be used in a variety of Indian dishes, whether sweet or savoury. As an added health bonus, pure maple syrup is also loaded with calcium and potassium, which are essential for growing kids and the good news is that it is also safe for consumption by infants, as it never causes botulism, as in the case of honey.

As parents, we all know that fruits and vegetables are better for a child’s health but at times it is a struggle to get your child to try food that includes ‘greens’. Pure maple syrup can help get children excited about veggies that they may not normally find appealing as it enhances the flavour of the dish. It also contains 65 types of antioxidants, nine of which are found only in pure maple syrup from Canada – offering health benefits similar to those of fruits and vegetables.

In order to make delicious dishes that your kids will love, pure maple syrup is your ‘magical’ go-to ingredient. You can make healthy food appealing for kids just by using pure maple syrup. Here’s how:

Drizzle it on top of nutritious cereals, a bowl of fresh fruits, popcorn or pancakes

Bake it into homemade wheat breads or ‘strawberry chips’

Replace refined sugar with pure maple syrup in healthy smoothies

Create tasty salad vinaigrettes with pure maple syrup or simple baked maple-glazed vegetables, to boost your kids’ leafy green intake

Use it for savoury meat glazes

When you explain the importance of choosing wholesome and nutritious foods to your children you are giving them an invaluable gift that will be passed down through generations. The possibilities for nutritive maple-inspired meals are endless. To see some exciting and nutrition-dense recipes that you can make for your kids using 100% pure maple syrup.
