Neophobia & Neophilia and How Color Reveals Nutrition - Session 3

We explore neophobia (fear of new foods, peaking between ages two and six) and neophilia (curiosity for new foods), and what textures, colors, and aromas children accept or reject. Then we decode what vegetables tell us through color: carotenoids in reds and oranges, anthocyanins and quercetin in purples and whites, chlorophyll in greens, and the difference between water-soluble and fat-soluble aroma compounds.
