Make everyday “Baontastic” with Mr. Hat Gulaman

As a new school year begins, many parents find themselves grappling with the challenge of packing lunches that are both nutritious and appealing.

It's no secret that getting kids to eat healthy can be a struggle, especially when they’re surrounded by tempting, less-than-healthy options. 

What if there was a way to not only make healthy eating fun but also engage your child in the process of creating their meals? 

Mr. Hat Gulaman isn’t just for summer desserts; it’s a versatile ingredient that can teach your kids about healthy eating while sparking their creativity in the kitchen. With seven flavored and six unflavored varieties, you can craft a wide range of fun and nutritious baon options together.  It allows you to take healthy ingredients that might not always appeal to your kids—like fruits, yogurt, or even vegetables—and turn them into something they’re excited to eat. You could blend fruits into a jelly-based salad or create a colorful fruit roll-up with a jelly twist. Imagine your child’s delight when they find a strawberry taho jelly in their lunchbox, or the unexpected joy of champorado transformed into a jelly pudding. 

Mr. Hat Gulaman gives you the freedom to experiment with flavors like kiwi banana jelly or even a savory Japchae jelly, keeping meals exciting and delicious.

Even better is that you could spend quality time with your child, making a jelly version of their favorite fruits or transforming a healthy drink into a fun, slurpable treat. Involving them in the process not only ensures they get the nutrients they need but also helps them build a positive relationship with food.

By incorporating Mr. Hat Gulaman into your child’s baon, you’re also fostering a sense of curiosity and independence. Kids are more likely to eat what they’ve helped create, so letting them pick flavors, mix ingredients, and see their ideas come to life can transform their attitude towards food. It’s not just about packing a lunch; it’s also about encouraging your child to make healthier choices, one delicious jelly creation at a time.
