Papaya mash
- Age: 6–8 months (First tastes)
- Texture: Mash
- Prep: 3 min
- Cook: 0 min
- Makes: 1 portion
Ingredients
- 1 wedge ripe papaya
Contains: None of the common allergens
Method
- Scoop out the seeds and cut the flesh off the skin.
- Mash with a fork — ripe papaya is as soft as butter.
- Serve at room temperature.
Safety: Ripe only. No salt and no sugar. A baby's kidneys cannot handle added salt, and nothing here needs it.
Storage: Serve fresh.
Tip: One of the softest fruits there is, and a first fruit in much of the world. Ripe means orange skin that gives to a thumb.
