How Much for Kids
Keep it small and steady. A rough daily guide is 2 to 4 almonds and 1 to 2 walnut halves for younger children, going up as they grow. For toddlers, always grind or make a paste. Raisins and chopped anjeer are the easiest first dry fruits.
Easy Ways to Feed Fussy Eaters

For children under 4, whole nuts are a choking risk, so grind them or use pastes and powders. Introduce one new dry fruit at a time and watch for any allergy, especially with tree nuts. If your child has a known allergy or health condition, check with your pediatrician first.
