According to a study published in "Food Quality and Preference", there's a simple trick to get kids to eat more carrots: just serve them whole instead of dice! When 60 children were given whole carrots to snack on while watching a movie, they ate significantly more than when they were given the same amount of diced carrots. On average, kids munched on 39g of whole carrots in the first 10 minutes compared to 26 g of diced ones. Even after 90 minutes, they still ate more whole carrots. So, in short, serving carrots whole instead of chopped up can be a clever way to encourage children to eat more of them, making our little ones' snack times not only fun but also healthy! Just to make sure to prevent any choking hazard by maybe keeping a watchful eye on them as they eat and teaching them to take small bites and chew thoroughly. Also, don't lie to them that eating carrots gives them the ability to see in the dark, because it's not real.
