Trying a new food is like going on a tasty adventure right at your dinner table! It can be a little scary to eat something you have never seen before, like a strange green vegetable or a bumpy fruit. But being brave enough to try is the first step to finding new favorites!
Start by taking just one tiny “no thank you” bite — you might discover your new favorite food! You can try dipping new foods in something you already like, such as ranch or ketchup. Cooking or preparing a new food with a grownup can also make it more fun to try.
Trying new things makes eating exciting and helps your body get all kinds of vitamins. Even if you don’t like a food the first time, your taste buds can change as you grow up. Eating many different foods gives your body all the nutrients it needs to be healthy and strong!
