All is played before 2 years for the children to like vegetables

It is necessary to make children eat vegetables as early as possible, according to a study conducted by British scientists.

The scientific team, led by a professor of the Institute of Psychology of the University of Leeds has made 403 British, French and Danish children aged between 4 and 36 month to taste the artichoke puree. In portion of at least 100g and in different preparations (without sugar, with sugar, or with vegetable oil).

Result: attempts must be multiplied, offer between 5 and 10 times the food for the child agrees. Needless to hide the flavor of vegetables, sweet puree  doesn't attract more than puree without sugar.

It should, however,  accustom the child from an early age (before age 2) to eat vegetables. The researchers found that children who finished their plate belonged to the category "young children". After this age, children begin to assert their tastes, and to refuse certain foods and vegetables.
