# What does my kid like? Taste profile per child — mangia

> Rate every meal — mangia learns what your child likes and sorts your weekly plan accordingly. Allergies handled automatically. 30 days free.

## Know what your child likes — before you cook.

Two taps after each meal: eaten, tried, refused. mangia builds your child's taste profile from that — and sorts your weekly plan around it.

## Three weeks of rating, a year of clarity.

After eating you tap what worked: pasta eaten, tomato sauce refused, chicken tried. mangia groups the ingredients into vegetables, fruit, protein and carbs and shows you per category what your child likes — and what they don't.

Research says kids need to try a new ingredient around ten times before they really accept it. mangia counts every taste and surfaces planning hints like "Anna is still working on broccoli — four tries to go before it sticks". Per ingredient you see the history with trend arrows — ▲ rising, ▼ slipping.

When you plan, the recipes most likely to land appear at the top. Allergies from the child profile filter recipes out completely — automatically.

## Features

### Ten tries, then it sticks
Kids need around ten attempts before they like a new ingredient. mangia counts along — and tells you in the weekly plan which ingredient is close to clicking.

### History with arrows
Per ingredient you see the twelve-month trend — ▲ rising, ▼ slipping. Favourites change, mangia knows.

### Allergies filtered out
Nuts, lactose, gluten — entered once, never suggested again. Safety without keeping a list.

## Frequently asked

**From what age does this make sense?**

The taste profile kicks in once your child voices preferences — usually around two years old. Before that, you can already store allergies and portion sizes.

**How many ratings do I need before it works?**

About fifteen rated meals are enough for the first reliable predictions. Three to four weeks of normal life will do it.

**Does it work with multiple kids?**

Yes. Each child has their own profile — own ratings, own allergies, own predictions. In the weekly plan you choose which child you're sorting for.

**What happens to my child's ratings?**

Ratings stay within your family. They only affect your recipe sorting, are not shared with other families and are not used for advertising.

**What does the taste profile cost?**

The first thirty days are free in every plan — no credit card needed. After that, the per-child taste profile is part of the Family plan. You can keep rating either way — when you upgrade, everything is back instantly.

**Why exactly ten tries?**

Studies on food acceptance in children show eight to ten repeated exposures are usually enough for a new taste to be accepted. mangia counts every taste and treats acceptance as reached at ten active attempts. Per ingredient you see where your child currently stands — and which ingredient is closest to becoming a new favourite.
