The project aims to help Filipinos improve their nutrition knowledge and cooking skills with the help of food experts. It is set to run on a quarterly basis on the brand’s official Facebook page. 

“We, at Ajinomoto, believe that nutrition education is vital in taking care of our families’ health.

Sustansarap, Sustansya! makes nutrition information fun, simple, accessible and proves that easy, affordable, nutritious, and delicious meals are possible, especially with the help of Ajinomoto products,” said Roann Co, Ajinomoto General Manager of Corporate Planning and Public Relations.

Attention parents! Here’s a science-based way to boost your kids’ appetite in their formative years

Proper nutrition during early childhood is critical for cognitive and physical development. However, getting kids to eat healthy foods– let alone eat during mealtimes– has always been a struggle. They would rather play than eat or complain that they have no appetite. To help parents cope with this dilemma, Ajinomoto Philippines Corporation shares how the science of umami can be used to entice children to eat more during their formative years. 

“We understand how difficult mealtimes can be. Children during their development years are usually picky eaters but this is also the time where they need proper nutrition the most,” says Ajinomoto’s Science Communication Executive Deborah S. Fajarda, RND. “As parents spend more time at home, it is ideal to use this opportunity to properly monitor their kids’ eating habits. At Ajinomoto, we hope to empower parents in this pursuit by helping them understand childhood nutrition more.”
