Nutrition

FiberVitamin C

This fruit is rich in Vitamin A and Vitamin C, both of which are powerful antioxidants that support skin health and immune function. It also provides a dose of dietary fiber to help keep your baby's digestion regular.

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.

The seeds are edible and generally safe for babies, but ensure the fruit is ripe for the best flavor and texture. If your baby finds the tartness overwhelming, try mixing the pulp with plain, full-fat Greek yogurt.

Tip

Choose passionfruit that is slightly wrinkled; this indicates it is fully ripe and at its sweetest.
