You can give green beans to your baby generally starting from the 6th month, after you've introduced complementary foods. First, snap off both ends of the green bean and remove any tough strings (the fibrous parts on the sides) — these are hard parts your baby won't be able to digest. Rinse the beans thoroughly, cut them into small pieces, and steam or boil in minimal water until very soft (overcooking causes vitamin loss). After cooking, you can mash with a fork to make it more puree-like, or at 8-9 months you can give very soft cooked whole bean pieces as finger food. Don't add salt — babies don't need it. When giving for the first time, test alone and in a small amount and watch for allergic reactions.
