Hazelnut
Hazelnuts can be introduced from around 6 months, but only ever finely ground or as a smooth butter — never whole. They are rich in healthy fats, vitamin E and protein, and bring a sweet, toasty flavour to porridge and purees.
Zo serveer je het
Finely ground into a powder and stirred into oatmeal, yogurt or fruit puree, or a thin smear of smooth hazelnut butter on soft toast strips.
Continue with finely ground hazelnuts or smooth hazelnut butter, spread thinly so it does not form sticky clumps.
Ground hazelnuts in baked goods and porridge, or smooth hazelnut butter. Still never whole or chopped.

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.
Hazelnut is a common allergen (tree nut). Introduce it on its own, in a small amount, and watch for signs of a reaction such as hives, swelling or difficulty breathing. 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 hazelnuts before grinding deepens their flavour. Rub off the papery skins in a clean tea towel first for a smoother texture.
