Passion Fruit
6 months and up
⚡ Quick answer
A tart, aromatic tropical fruit that can be offered from 6 months by giving only the well-ripened, jelly-like inner part; the unripe form is not safe.
How to serve it by age?
Scoop out the inner part of the ripe fruit with a spoon; if you are wary of the seeds, strain and mix only the pulp into yogurt or puree.
You can give the seeded pulp directly with a spoon or mixed into other foods.
You can serve half the fruit scooped out with a spoon, seeds and all.
🫁 Choking risk and safe serving
The jelly-like inner part is soft; the small firm seeds inside generally do not pose a significant risk, but if there is concern they can be strained out through a fine sieve before 9 months.
📌 Watch out for these
- Only fruit with a colored, ripe interior is given; unripe fruit, along with the skin and leaves, can be toxic.
- It is naturally acidic; too much can cause an upset stomach or a temporary rash, so start with small amounts.
