When it comes to getting my toddlers excited about new and unique foods, I will do most anything. The easiest method is a no-brainer. Since children are curious by nature, simply observing their parents enjoying a new food can really pique their interest. Don’t forget that displaying some enthusiasm, talking about the food (color, shape, texture, flavor, history, etc), and tactile exploring are great ways to introduce new foods. Sometimes, a child will want to expand their culinary horizons on their own accord. Recently, I was surprised when my ultra-finicky child did just that with a piece of an exotic fruit that I hadn’t seen in years.
