Children will be introduced, in an age-appropriate way, to groups of protein, fat, and carbohydrate foods, as well as micronutrients and their main dietary sources. They will learn about the general importance of these nutrients for health, especially for children’s well-being and performance (“What is good for strong muscles/strong bones/fighting a runny nose/good brain thinking?” and similar). We will demonstrate…

Red cabbage contains large amounts of substances called anthocyanins. These are water-soluble pigments that change color in different pH environments, which is why red cabbage can be used as a natural pH indicator. Cabbage is also a good source…

A Supercomputer for Food Analysis

This then determines whether we consume the food, how much of it we consume, and whether we like it. No machine can replace the analysis performed by our brains,…
