Dietary diversity is number of different food groups consumed over a period. Children’s food preferences and dietary habits are influenced mainly by environmental and social factors. Early experiences with nutritious, varied flavors and diverse foods increase the likelihood that children will choose a healthier diet in later life because they like the taste and the variety of healthy foods. This diverse diet exposure thus, could be useful in shaping healthy dietary habits and preferences in this age group.

Dietary diversity helps in consumption of all or most of the nutrients which are necessary for a developing child during this age. We have the diversity of 4 food groups coming together in the GERBER® Cereal range.
