This dish is a source of carbohydrates, fibre, vitamin A, C and folate and the minerals calcium and iron. Calcium is an essential mineral for healthy bones and teeth. Best dietary sources are dairy foods, such as cheese, milk and yoghurt, and fish with edible bones such as canned salmon or tuna. Carbohydrates are an important fuel source for the body and should form the basis of a healthy eating plan. In simple terms there are two types, sugars and starch. During digestion, all carbohydrates are broken down into glucose, which is the body’s primary energy source and fibre, which is important for a healthy digestive system. Encourage your child to try the more nutritious fibre-rich carbohydrate foods such as wholegrain breads and cereals rather than the ‘refined’ white versions.
