MISSOULA, Mont., Aug. 20, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- KAMUT®
Brand Wheat is addressing the
importance of diet diversity by providing tips that encourages
parents to incorporate nutritional whole grains into their
children's daily meals and snacks.
Whitney English Tabaie MS, RDN, CPT, Registered Dietitian
Nutritionist and CEO of Plant-Based Juniors recommends introducing
children to whole grains like KAMUT® wheat, which can be swapped
into their favorite dishes, such as pasta (macaroni and cheese),
pizza (better for them pizza crust), bread (PBJ sandwich), and
veggies (recipe from Plant-Based Juniors). And if your child loves
rice, you can easily swap it by slowly introducing whole grains
like KAMUT® wheat, which are more nutritious and wholesome
options.
English Tabaie recognizes the value of educating parents on the
importance of introducing children to organic whole grains like
KAMUT® Brand Wheat. "Parents are
very open to trying different grains, but sometimes they just don't
know what to do with them," English said. She added, "Kids really
enjoy grains and KAMUT® Brand Wheat
is a good source of protein - as well as many other nutrients like
calcium and fiber. It's a great grain for kids, because of its
natural sweetness and nutty buttery flavor, it makes meal prep
easier – no need to add tons of other ingredients and it's a
perfect substitute for refined grains in healthier kid-friendly
recipes."
Parents are concerned about establishing healthy habits at a
young age, and it's more important than ever to achieve a balanced
diet that optimizes the essential vitamins, minerals, and nutrients
that children need to grow and learn. Toddlers and preschoolers
especially need calcium to develop strong, healthy bones and teeth.
They also need fiber not only to help prevent heart disease and
other conditions but to help aid digestion and prevent
constipation.
It's also important for parents to help steer older kids in the
right direction with nutritious foods choices. For example, parents
should prioritize nutrients like protein and fiber-rich
carbohydrates while minimizing the intake of nutrient-poor foods
such as those high in saturated fat, sugar, and sodium, which have
been associated with childhood health problems.
KAMUT® Brand Wheat is an
excellent source of protein, fiber, zinc, phosphorus, magnesium,
vitamin B1 (thiamin), and vitamin B3 (niacin). It is also high in
many minerals such as selenium, copper, manganese, and molybdenum.
These nutrients have many benefits including contribution to normal
cognitive function, normal metabolism, maintaining normal blood
pressure, and protection from oxidative stress. KAMUT® wheat also
has an extremely diverse profile of polyphenols. For more
