🌱 Why is it nourishing?
White cheese is a valuable source of protein and calcium for growing children; the egg adds extra protein and the parsley brings a fresh touch to the plate. Because they are baked, these light mini pastries support your child holding and eating by themselves, gently encouraging confident self-feeding.
Maiyko's note
At Maiyko we care about growing children discovering how to eat with their own hands; sizing the mini pastries into small bites that suit your child's mouth is both safe and enjoyable.
