Artichoke
Artichoke can be introduced around 8 months. The heart is the most suitable part for babies - tender and easy to eat when cooked.
How to serve
Puree cooked artichoke hearts mixed with other vegetables.
Offer soft, small pieces of artichoke heart as finger food.
Serve in dips, pasta, or with other vegetables.
Nutrition
Excellent source of fiber for healthy digestion. Contains folate, vitamin C, and vitamin K. High in antioxidants.
Good to know
This food can be a choking hazard for babies. Prepare it in an age-appropriate size and texture, and always supervise your baby while eating.
Only serve the tender heart - the leaves and choke are not suitable for babies. Steam or boil until very soft.
Tip
Canned artichoke hearts (in water, not marinated) are convenient and safe for babies. Rinse to reduce sodium.
