Broccoli Purée — A Soft, Nourishing Vegetable Recipe for 7+ Months
A single-ingredient, velvety purée made from steamed and smoothly mashed broccoli. A gentle recipe to introduce your baby to a green vegetable from 7 months, loved for its soft texture and simple taste.
Ingredients
- 1 small bunch (about 80 g) Broccoli
Directions
- 1
Wash the broccoli well and separate it into small florets, trimming away the thick stalks.
- 2
Steam or cook in a little water for about 8-10 minutes, until soft enough to mash easily with a fork.
- 3
Transfer the cooked broccoli to a bowl and mash with a fork or blend into a smooth purée.
- 4
If it is too thick, loosen it with a little of the cooking water or some breast milk or formula until it reaches a spoonable consistency.
- 5
Let it cool to lukewarm and serve fresh, without keeping it waiting.
🌱 Why is it nourishing?
With its vitamin C, vitamin K, folate and fibre, broccoli can gently support your baby's balanced nutrition. The soft texture it gains when steamed and its simple taste can make a first meeting with a green vegetable easier. Its single-ingredient nature suits an approach that introduces new flavours one at a time from 7 months.
Maiyko's note
At Maiyko, we believe in moving through solids with simple, single-ingredient steps. Offer the broccoli with its own natural taste only, without any sweeteners or seasonings; cook it fresh and remember that every baby gets used to green vegetables at their own pace.
