Remember that heritage tomato I picked up from my F&V shop? Turns out it was super tasty. Arranging fruit or vegetables in a fun way really helps children build curiosity for new foods. Have a sharing plate in the middle of the table and allow them to taste at their own pace.

Mixing it up with different varieties of common vegetables adds a new dimension to your plate. A visit to your local or is great way to involve your child in the process, learning about food leads to interest in food, and inevitably leads to a wider range of accepted foods when it comes to eating.
