Flavoring
Okay kiddo, so flavorings are things that make our food and drinks taste good!
Imagine you have a cookie, but it's just made of plain flour, sugar, and eggs. The cookie might not taste super yummy, right? But if you add some vanilla extract, the cookie suddenly tastes much better! That's because vanilla extract has a lot of flavor in it.
Sometimes, food companies use artificial flavorings to make things taste yummy too. This means they make a chemical that tastes like a certain food, like strawberry or chocolate. They add it to things like candy, drinks, and even medicine to make them taste better.
But be careful, not all flavorings are good for us! Some of them, like too much sugar or salt, can be bad for our health if we eat too much. So it's important to always read the labels and make sure we're eating a balanced and healthy diet.
