We understand that children can be picky eaters. This is completely normal as their tastes develop while they grow. On average it takes about ten times for a child to try a new food before she starts liking it. We take it seriously into consideration while planning our menu and make sure the choices we offer are not only kid friendly but also kid tested and approved. Children are often enticed by colors, shape, variety, and visual appeal of the food they eat. This is why at MiniBento we focus a lot on the presentation of our lunches. We choose fresh, colorful, and tasty ingredients which harmonize with each other and are attractive to children. We like to have a few staples that we know children like and will eat. However, we also include a variety of foods that hopefully will expand the child’s taste. The food is packaged in an attractive and easy to open, compostable box with transparent lid that makes the lunch look attractive for your child even before the first bite.
