Tangerine
Tangerines are a fantastic, juicy fruit to introduce to babies around 6 months old once they are ready for solids. Their sweet, tangy flavor is usually a hit with little ones and offers a great sensory experience.
Zo serveer je het
Remove the membrane and seeds, then offer small, soft, mashed segments.
Serve segments cut into smaller, bite-sized pieces with all membranes and seeds removed.
Serve whole segments, ensuring they are not too large or firm for your child's chewing ability.
Voedingswaarde
Tangerines are an excellent source of vitamin C, which is vital for a strong immune system and helps the body better absorb iron from other foods. They also provide hydration and natural sugars for quick energy. The small amounts of fiber aid in general gut health.
Goed om te weten
Dit voedingsmiddel kan verslikkingsgevaar opleveren voor baby's. Bereid het in een grootte en textuur die bij de leeftijd past, en houd je baby tijdens het eten altijd in de gaten.
Always remove the seeds and ensure the thin, fibrous membrane is removed or finely minced to prevent a choking hazard. Because they are acidic, some babies may develop a mild rash around the mouth, which usually goes away on its own.
Tip
If your baby finds the taste too tart, mix small pieces into plain, full-fat yogurt to balance the acidity.
