Broccoli purée
- Age: 6–8 months (First tastes)
- Texture: Purée
- Prep: 4 min
- Cook: 12 min
- Makes: 3 portions
Ingredients
- 4 florets broccoli
- 1 small potato
- 1 tbsp your baby's usual milk
Contains: None of the common allergens
Method
- Peel, dice and steam the potato 12 minutes; add the broccoli for the last 6.
- Blend smooth with the milk — the potato takes the bitter edge off.
- Cool to lukewarm.
Safety: No salt and no sugar. A baby's kidneys cannot handle added salt, and nothing here needs it.
Storage: Fridge 1 day; broccoli is best made fresh.
Tip: Broccoli on its own is a strong first taste; with potato it is mild. Offer it several times — most babies need a few tries with green things.
