A sweet ice cream, which has a history of nearly 400 years around the world, that we can choose from junk food, especially our children's favorite. I tried to answer the most curious questions for you
1-Does ice cream have nutritional value?
Although ice cream is not one of the essential nutrients for child nutrition, it is a product of milk, which is one of the basic nutrients. In addition, considering the ice cream varieties created with chocolate, cocoa and fruit mixtures, it is the most innocent dessert rich in protein, carbohydrates and fats as well as elements and vitamins. 100 grams of ice cream contains about 100-200 kilocalories
2-What should be considered when buying ice cream?What should be the storage conditions?
It should be prepared in healthy and hygienic conditions. It should be made from pasteurized milk and produced under hygienic conditions. It is very important. Bacteria can reproduce easily in ice cream produced under unsanitary conditions. Therefore, care should be taken when purchasing ice creams and iced drinks, especially open-air ice cream, and ice cream should not be purchased from unreliable places.
• For packaged ice creams and icy foods, the label on the package should be read, attention should be paid to whether there is a production/import permit from the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Rural Affairs, expiration date, unauthorized and/or expiry date. Expired products should never be purchased. Let's not forget that support can be obtained from pediatricians, especially in terms of additives.
• It should also not be ignored that the refrigerator in which such foods are served is cold enough and in working condition.
3-ice cream What can you say about its health benefits?
Calcium is of great importance for both bone and dental health. While 120 mg of calcium is taken with half a glass of milk, 150 mg of calcium is taken with the same amount of ice cream. Therefore, it is possible to consume it in a healthy way with peace of mind.
4-Can you give a practical and healthy ice cream recipe that can be made at home?
We crush the fruits and make a puree. Whisk the yoghurt well and add it to the fruit puree. We pour it into the glass and put it in the freezer.
We check it after 2-3 hours. If it is frozen, you can easily give it to your child. Our children should eat the ice cream by melting it in the mouth and holding it. By the way, it is worth emphasizing that homemade ice cream will be a much healthier choice for our children instead of consuming ready-made ice cream due to additives.
