Many people know that spices have an incredibly rich chemical composition, so this simple additive can significantly improve the quality of food.
As a result, a completely ordinary dish becomes much tastier and healthier.
However, one must be extremely careful with children’s diet, experts remind.
At what age can a child be given spices?
From 4 months
At this age, fennel can be introduced into children's dishes, which is useful not only for children, but also for the mother herself. Fennel strengthens the immune system, which is extremely important for small children.
The spice also has a positive effect on the digestion process.
At the age of 10 months
This is a great age to get acquainted with dill for the first time. It is known that this type of greenery is not only able to make food aromatic and tasty, but also has a very rich chemical composition.
Dill also has a positive effect on the functioning of the immune system and generally improves the condition of the body.
At the same age, we introduce parsley into the diet. It can be mixed with olive oil. In this case, it will be an amazing healthy treat.
At one and a half years old
At this age, you can begin to get acquainted with garlic, which protects against diseases, makes the heart stronger, enhances the body's defenses and, in general, helps the child become healthier and stronger.
At two years old
At this time, many mothers begin to introduce basil and rosemary into the child's diet. This will help to cope with the problem of flatulence and diversify the menu with aromatic herbs.
You can also introduce incredibly useful cinnamon, which improves the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract. You can start treating your child with healthy ginger tea to strengthen the immune system.
At the age of five
You can start introducing pepper, but you should refrain from chili and other hot options. Pepper strengthens the child's body, helping him to get sick less often.
At 7-8 years old
You can treat your child to horseradish, which is incredibly beneficial for the immune system. It is known to be an excellent preventative against colds.
What questions might there be?
Mustard is recommended to be introduced only after such experiments are approved by a pediatrician. Hot peppers are not recommended, as already written above.
