Re: vitamin in veg/ non-health residue
For info on nitrates in vegetables, refer to Nitrates, Carrots, and Homemade Baby Food - Nitrates and Making Homemade Baby Food Carrots, Spinach and More
My boy started semi-solids at 6.5 months; we try to buy only organic produce for his meals.
- vegetables tried: broccoli, cauliflower, lettuce, Xiao bai Cai, sweet potato leaves, Cai xin, spinach
- organic carrots introduced at about 8+ months
- same preparation method every day for vegetables:
cut into small shreds, put in electric steamer for 20min, mash and mix into rice cereal
- going to start porridge soon; reason for starting porridge late (abt 9+mths) is because nurse suggested using vegetable stock to cook porridge. Therefore, we aimed to clear most of the family veges off allergy test then cook porridge.
- vegetable stock can made in a large amount, frozen then thawed to cook with rice
- electric smart cooker takes about 45min to cook porridge, can preset timing for convenience, then keep warm till serving time
Cheers,
