Inspired by the familiar flavours of sweet and sour, this colourful dish is made without added ketchup or honey, letting the natural sweetness of the vegetables and juicy pineapple shine through. Packed with peppers, carrots, baby corn, chickpeas and spring onions in a gently sweet and tangy tomato sauce, it’s a bright, tasty meal that little ones love. Delicious served with rice or noodles!
Why do we love our sweet & sour veggies?
In line with our nutrition values, this dish contains no added sugar but, instead, the gentle sweetness comes naturally from pineapple, peppers, and carrot, balanced with tangy lime and a hint of ginger for a child-friendly sweet and sour flavour.
Chickpeas add iron-rich plant protein, while vegetables like peppers, baby corn, spring onions, and carrots provide fibre and essential vitamins. The tomato passata base brings extra antioxidants, helping support overall wellbeing.
