Lamb Broth

From 6 months★★★★★
Processed

Lamb broth is a nutrient-rich liquid base that can be used to hydrate grains or soften solid foods. It provides a savory depth of flavor that helps broaden baby's palate during the transition to table foods.

How to serve

6-9 months

Use to thin purees or soften cereals and grains.

9-12 months

Use as a base for stews or to cook pasta and soft grains.

12+ months

Serve as a nutritious soup base with small pieces of soft vegetables.

Nutrition

While broth is lower in calories than solid meat, it contains minerals like zinc and iron if cooked slowly with bones. It also provides amino acids such as glycine, which are beneficial for gut health. It serves as a gentle way to introduce the flavor of red meat.

Good to know

Ensure the broth is homemade or low-sodium, as store-bought versions are often dangerously high in salt. Strain carefully to ensure no small bone fragments or fatty chunks remain.

Contains: meat

Tip

Freeze broth in ice cube trays for easy, portioned additions to any meal you are preparing for your little one.
