Lesson 8Part 1: Reading Labels
Kids Cooking Activities Ebooks
Today, Kids Cooking Lessons will teach your
chef-in-training
about reading nutrition labels on food. You can learn a lot about the
contents of the food we eat if you understand what the food label is
telling you. Please print and read off the following article about food labels.
Reading
labels will help you know how much sugar or other ingredients
are in the food we eat. To practice healthy eating, talk to your child
about what the label should say. For
example
if you have a bag of potato chips. What is the serving size, how many
calories in that serving size, how much fat grams?
Take a tour of your kitchen and read the labels on cans, packages, and
even milk jugs.
Part 2: Making
Hummus
15 oz. can of garbanzo beans (chickpeas)
1 garlic clove, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 Cup cold water
5 Tablespoons lemon juice
1/3 Cup tahini paste
Have the chef-in-training open beans with can opener and drain liquid
out. (don't forget to reiterate part 1 by checking out the label) Place
beans in a bowl and mash with a potato masher or have adult use the
food processor. Stir in garlic clove, salt, cold water, lemon juice and
tahini paste. Eat with pita bread.
 Would
you like to try a different version of hummus? You will find some
great recipes including a spicy kind and some without chickpeas.
