Fruits are important in the diet of any adult, but in children’s diet are especially important due to the simple fact of creating the habit of consuming these foods for their health benefits

Therefore, to make children want to eat fruits, Karyn Reyna Ocampo nutritionist at Clínica Ricardo Palma offers the following tips:

• Start early: Start including these foods from 6 months, give them fruit in small portions, first purees and then chopped
• Be persevering: If your child rejects the apple or sweet granadilla first, try again after a few days. Maybe they need more time to get used to the taste
• Use creativity: You can decorate the plate in a fun way to catch their attention, with colorful fruits
• Please them: Add fruit to dishes that your child likes. In this way you will introduce new food without much effort. However, avoid offering fruit juices
