How to Get Kids to Try New Foods

September 15, 2017
by Rebecca Down Stress-Less

    We introduced six kids to three new ingredients they’d never heard of: aubergine, mixed beans and turmeric. They inspected these new foods with curiosity, sniffing, prodding and questioning where they’d come from, but when we asked whether they’d like to eat them, every single one politely refused (…what a surprise!)

    Never ones to back down from a challenge, we decided to see what would happen if we hid these ingredients in delicious HelloFresh meals. Would the kids hate them? Would they be able to spot these new alien ingredients and pick them out? The results may surprise you…

As our family recipes are tried and tested by kids themselves (and parents too), who give us feedback to make them the best they can be, we can guarantee that our recipes will become household favourites in no time.
