You can typically start introducing artichoke to your baby's diet around 8-9 months. Because of its fibrous structure, it may be slightly harder to digest than other vegetables, so it's good to start with a small amount and watch how your baby reacts.
Here's how to prepare it: wash fresh artichokes thoroughly, clean off the outer leaves and any fuzzy inner parts (the choke). Chop into small pieces and steam or boil in a little water until very soft (about 15-20 minutes). Then mash with a fork to a puree consistency. Adding potatoes or carrots on the side makes it milder in flavor.
Because of its high fiber content, don't exceed a teaspoon or two in the first week. If it causes gas or constipation, you can take a break and try again in a later month.
