MICRONUTRIENTS
Micronutrients are found in our food. We discuss some common micronutrients and good sources of these. We talk about the difference between iron found in plant sources and from animal origin.
FOOD ALLERGIES / INTOLERANCE
Food allergies and food intolerance are both ever growing topics. We describe the difference between a food allergy and a food intolerance. All of our recipes have allergy alerts but we recommend that you read the ingredients carefully as well. If you suspect your child may have a food allergy or a food intolerance it is always best to discuss this with their GP.
