Hidden Veg Bolognese
Hidden Veg Bolognese is a nutrient-dense take on a family favourite, designed to quietly deliver iron, protein and fibre during a critical period of growth. Iron-rich beef supports brain development, red lentils add plant-based protein and zinc, and finely grated vegetables provide vitamins and gentle fibre for developing guts. Slowly simmered for flavour and softness, this meal adapts seamlessly from smooth purées to chunky textures — true food that grows with your child.
