Brazil Nut
Brazil nuts can be introduced around 6 months, but always in a safe, prepared form, never whole. They are a nutritional powerhouse, offering unique benefits and a mild, earthy flavor for your baby's palate.

Goed om te weten
Never offer whole or chopped nuts before age 5 — they are one of the most common choking hazards. Serve finely ground, or as a smooth nut butter thinned with water, breast milk or formula.
Brazil nuts are a common allergen. Introduce them one at a time, watching closely for any allergic reactions like hives, swelling, or difficulty breathing. Always serve ground or as a smooth butter; never whole due to severe choking risk. Whole and chopped nuts stay a choking hazard until age 5, so keep serving them finely ground or as a smooth, thinned butter.
Tip
Toasting brazil nuts lightly before grinding can enhance their flavor and make them easier to process into a fine powder.
