Green Onion
6 months and up
⚡ Quick answer
From 6 months, green onion can be given; because of its sharp taste and potential to cause gas, it should not be given raw but first cooked and added very finely chopped in a small amount to dishes.
How to serve it by age?
Chop the white and green parts very finely and cook until soft within the dish; do not give raw, and start with a tiny amount.
Add cooked, finely chopped green onion to vegetable and grain dishes; increase the amount gradually.
Use it freely cooked within dishes; if you add a little raw, chop it very finely.
🫁 Choking risk and safe serving
The long, fibrous green parts can be hard to chew in the mouth and pose a choking risk; cook and chop very finely, and do not serve long/large pieces.
📌 Watch out for these
- Because of its sharp taste and potential to cause gas, start with a small amount; cooking makes it easier to digest.
- Chop the fibrous green parts very finely (choking).
- Wash thoroughly under running water.
