Mulberry
6 months and up
⚡ Quick answer
From 6 months, mulberries can be given thoroughly washed and with ripe berries mashed; whole berries are only suitable after 12 months.
How to serve it by age?
Thoroughly wash ripe, soft mulberries and mash them with a fork; if needed, add a few spoonfuls of water to bring them to a puree consistency.
Serve mashed mulberry mixed into plain yogurt or oats; press and flatten the berries with your finger.
If the child can chew well, ripe mulberries can be given whole as a finger food.
🫁 Choking risk and safe serving
Small round berries can be swallowed and cause choking; until 12 months, give the berries mashed or flattened with your finger.
📌 Watch out for these
- Because they are picked from the tree, wash the berries thoroughly; do not give unripe berries.
- Large amounts of mulberries can loosen the bowels and cause diarrhea.
- Small berries must always be mashed before being given before 12 months.
