The benefits of chicken schnitzel for a child

As a rule, schnitzel is made from chicken breast, or meat cut from the thigh is used. Chicken fillet is a record holder for the content of easily digestible protein, which is very important for a growing body.

Quail eggs are rarely infected with salmonella – because of the high body temperature, quail are resistant to this bacterium.

Recommendations for the preparation and introduction into the diet

• The most important thing in this business is the correct selection of products.
• It is better to buy chicken fillet fresh rather than frozen, it retains more nutrients. Pay attention to the freshness of the fillet – it should be a delicate, pinkish-brick shade and when restored immediately restored. If you buy frozen fillet, keep an eye on the date of freezing and the amount of ice in the package.
• The more ice – the more often this filet is thawed, it’s better not to take it to either the kid or the adult.
• When buying quail eggs in a package, pay attention to the production date and the final date of consumption. If you take it on the market or “on hand”, carefully look at the condition of the shell – there should be no pollution or feces. Shake the egg over your ear – it should not “hang” inside.

• You can safely introduce schnitzel into the child’s diet, this is a neutral dish, and the body of a three-year-old child is already quite strong. However, if your child is allergic, do not be too lazy to follow him – egg white, at least a little, but still an allergenic product.
