Nutritional values
This recipe is a very low-fat rice pudding with energy-giving carbohydrates and vitamin-rich fruit compote. One portion of rice pudding provides 25 percent of the daily requirement of bone-strengthening calcium. The apricots are a good source of vitamin A, which we need for a well-functioning visual process and for beautiful skin. Secondary plant substances contained in apricots protect our body cells from free radicals and can thus counteract the development of cancer cells.
Children love vanilla rice pudding with compote, but could be bothered by the thyme flavour in this dessert. Just test whether your child likes the combination of sweet and tart or not. To get more minerals and fibre, you can prepare the rice pudding with round grain natural rice. The vanilla rice pudding is suitable as a sweet lunch or as a light dessert (then the recipe is sufficient for 6 people). Try the dessert also with other fruits such as pears instead of apricots.
