Little secrets of a big dinner

A growing child’s body literally requires meat products. There is no doubt in their benefit, we will only remind you of this a little. The amino acids and animal proteins contained in meat provide the body with the necessary building material. The importance of this property cannot be underestimated: the structure of all cells and tissues most actively occurs before the baby is 2 years old.

The meat is also rich in iron, phosphorus and vitamins of group B. Such a rich content ensures good vision, beneficial development of the nervous system, healthy musculoskeletal system and active blood formation processes.

In order for meat to bring real benefits, it is important to seriously approach its choice and buy a quality product. To do this, remember the following tips:

• The best choice would be homemade meat, which can be obtained from honest farmers.
• Take a good look at the color of the meat: it should be uniform, without spots and darkening. Otherwise, you can state the fact of repeated freezing of meat.
• Before buying, do not hesitate to put a little pressure on the meat: if a dent remains with water - this is not a good sign, a quality product will almost immediately return to its original form.
• For a child, rabbit and horse meat is most useful. Favorite chicken is sometimes able to cause allergies, so it should be introduced into the children's menu gradually. Chicken breast will be preferred.

In order not to lose the useful components of meat, thaw it in the evening, leaving it on the coldest shelf of your refrigerator. And if you want to cook it before cooking the casserole, throw the piece into boiling water only.
