Are children not interested in eating? It must be that the food itself is not attractive enough! This time, let's make a rainbow cheese bread. Just by looking at its face value, we can attract the baby's curiosity. As a mother, I will definitely worry about whether the pigment used in it is bad for the baby's health or how to choose cheese.

Follow the step diagram ↓

Material preparation:

Crushed cheese (mozzarella cheese)

sliced bread

Food coloring (three colors)

butter

All materials can be added at will, without a certain amount.

Step 1: Add a few drops of pigment to three pieces of cheese, and remember that a few drops is enough. If you don't know the dosage, add it drop by drop until you adjust it to your satisfactory color (the more plain colors you add, the darker the color). Then mix it with another color, three different doses of color.

Step 2: Mix it up, the secret is to drum it a few times unevenly, which will have a sense of hierarchy.

Step 3: spread butter on the bread.

Step 4: Spread the shredded rainbow cheese and put the two pieces of bread together.

Here's the thing. You're done!

Step 5: Bake in the oven until the surface is golden, cut in half, and go!

The point is ~ knock on the small blackboard, we are all talking about the color change of pigment, in fact, pigment is not as terrible as we thought.

There are also two kinds of food pigments: natural food pigments and synthetic food pigments.

Natural edible pigment: pigment directly extracted from animal, plant or microbial tissues, such as monascus pigment, chlorophyll, cochineal pigment, curcumin, carotene, etc.

The advantage is generally harmless to the body, but the disadvantage is poor stability and easy discoloration and fading.

Synthetic food pigment: made of aniline dyes separated from coal tar, such as amaranth, carmine, lemon yellow, sunset yellow, brilliant blue, etc.

Advantages are good stability, bright color and obvious disadvantages. The amount of synthetic pigment needs to be mastered.

Most of the pigments sold in the market are synthetic pigments. For example, a few drops added in the video will not affect the body at all. Mothers can choose reliable baking brand pigments for older children.

As for the baby, it is better not to eat as much as possible. If the mother wants to attract the baby's attention with color, she can choose cocoa powder, pure natural vegetables or fruit powder. The color will not be so bright, but it is better than health.

Cheese is a good choice for baby to supplement calcium. The video uses the well-known mozzarella cheese. After heating, the drawing effect is excellent. On the other hand, the sodium content of mozzarella is relatively low, and it can also be given to babies after 1 year.

But mothers should pay attention, give their children either to eat or not to make cheese! Processed cheese is a product made from 1 or above kinds of cheese, which is crushed and melted by adding emulsifier and stabilizer. Spices and seasonings can be added according to the needs of different tastes during the processing. It also contains additives such as preservatives.

In fact, it is easy to distinguish processed cheese from original cheese:

1. Processed cheese will be marked "Processed" on the package.

2, look at the ingredient list, the ingredient list of original cheese is generally only milk, edible salt, bacteria, rennet. As shown above, adding water, emulsifier, vegetable oil and so many ingredients is definitely a processed cheese.
