Preparation of Spinach and White Bean Puree for Babies:
- Ingredients: Fresh spinach leaves, canned or cooked white beans, water (or low sodium vegetable broth for older babies).
- Cooking Spinach: Rinse the spinach leaves and steam them until they are wilted, usually about 3-5 minutes.
- Preparing Beans: If using canned beans, rinse them thoroughly to remove excess sodium. If using dried beans, soak and cook them until soft.
- Blending: Combine the spinach and white beans in a blender. Add a little water or vegetable broth to get the desired consistency.
- Pureeing: Blend until smooth. For older babies, a chunkier texture can be maintained.
- Cooling: Allow the puree to cool to a safe temperature before serving.
Suitability: This puree is suitable for babies around 8 months and older, offering a nutritious blend of protein, iron, and vitamins. Always consult with a pediatrician before introducing new foods to your baby's diet.
