Not all children like fish, but there are pleasant exceptions. In any case, you should not rejoice and treat your child to sushi if he/she has shown interest in the dish.
This is a familiar food for adults. But for children under a certain age, rolls can be dangerous.
Sushi and children
Experts do not recommend giving sushi to children under five years old. Fish at this age must be thermally processed.
Therefore, salted and lightly salted fish, as well as other seafood that has not been heat-treated, should be excluded from a child’s diet.
Fish such as shark, swordfish, tuna, etc. are also excluded due to their heavy metal content.
In addition, sushi contains allergens, which can be fish and seafood, as well as sesame, soy sauce, cheese and other additives.
You also need to remember about salt, the consumption of which should also be limited in the first years of a child’s life.
And if the need arises, you can prepare homemade sushi - with regular rice and heat-treated fish from the same species that your child has already eaten.
