Loquat
6 months and up
⚡ Quick answer
A fruit suitable for babies when its skin is removed and it is mashed, thanks to its juicy, soft flesh when ripe and its large, easily slippery seeds.
How to serve it by age?
Peel the skin and remove the seeds, then puree the soft flesh until smooth.
Mash the seedless flesh with a fork and offer it in small, soft pieces.
Under supervision, let the baby self-feed peeled, seedless slices by hand.
🫁 Choking risk and safe serving
The large, slippery, round seeds inside pose a high choking hazard; remove the seeds and skin completely and serve only the soft flesh, mashed.
📌 Watch out for these
- Each fruit contains several large seeds; make sure all of them are removed.
- Choose only fully ripe, soft fruit.
