Tips & variations
-
Tip
No salt or sugar, in the food or in the cooking water: babies under one do not need either. The taste comes from the vegetable itself.
-
Storage
Spoon the cooled purée into an ice-cube tray, freeze, then tip the cubes into a bag. Thaw in the fridge, heat until piping hot, cool again, and never refreeze.
-
Variation
Stir a spoonful into porridge for a fruity breakfast with no added sugar.
-
Tip
Offer each new food on its own for a few days running, and check with your health visitor or paediatrician about allergies, age and texture.
