Eggs provide high-quality protein and choline to support growth and brain development. Carrots and mushrooms add vitamins, antioxidants, and fibre that support immunity and digestion. Wholemeal flour and milk contribute energy, fibre, calcium, and B vitamins, while cumin, oregano, and black pepper offer gentle digestive and antioxidant benefits. Butter adds healthy fats that help with nutrient absorption and satiety.
