During the summer we replace our tea-time, home-made soups with dips. As well as being more seasonal, the dips are packed with healthy ingredients that children will eat in this form. Their smooth texture helps even the fussiest eater to overcome their inhibitions in trying new flavours.
Parents also appreciate our efforts to introduce their children to new flavours. By using a variety of healthy ingredients, a highly nutritious meal is made.
Pulses, such as chickpeas for the hummus and canellini beans, are highly nutritious forms of protein. Tinned pulses are most convenient, but more expensive - for bulk use, we buy large bags of dried pulses from the wholefood co operative www.essential-trading.co.uk.
