Nutrition

The website "Kinder essen gesund"  provides you with a wealth of information on the subject of nutrition for children and young people. This includes handbooks, recommendations, brochures, recipes, games and much more. Parents, children, educators and other people responsible for communal catering, for example, can obtain information, tips and other advice on the subject of healthy eating via the website’s toolbox section. The toolbox allows you to filter your search according to your target group and the type of information you are looking for.

It is also possible to send in your own materials. These will then be reviewed by a team of experts and, if approved, included in the toolbox. You can find the toolbox under the following link:
