Turnip
Turnips can be introduced from 6 months as a gentle, nutrient-dense vegetable. When cooked until soft, their mild flavor makes them an excellent early root vegetable for baby-led weaning.

Steam until very soft and serve in large, graspable sticks for baby to gum.
Steam or roast until soft and chop into small, bite-sized pieces for pincer grasp practice.
Serve cooked in cubes or mixed into stews and stir-fries.
Voedingswaarde
Turnips are a good source of Vitamin C to support a healthy immune system and iron absorption. They also provide dietary fiber, which helps regulate digestion and promotes regularity for your growing baby.
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 peel and steam or boil turnips until fork-tender to eliminate any choking risk. As a cruciferous vegetable, start with small portions to ensure your baby digests them comfortably.
Tip
Turnips have a slightly peppery bite; pairing them with a sweeter vegetable like carrots or parsnips can help balance the flavor profile.
