Carrot Purée — A Silky, Naturally Sweet First Taste for 6+ Months
With its sweet flavor and tender texture, carrot is one of the best-loved first tastes as your baby moves to solids. A silky purée for 6 months and up, made with only simple, natural ingredients.
Ingredients
- 100 g carrot (fresh, peeled and diced small)
- 50 ml filtered drinking water (for consistency)
- 2 drops olive oil (optional)
Directions
- 1
Wash the carrot well, peel it and cut into small cubes.
- 2
Steam or simmer in a little water for 12-15 minutes, until soft enough to mash easily with a fork.
- 3
Drain, reserving some of the cooking water for consistency.
- 4
Mash or blend the carrot until smooth, adding the reserved water little by little as needed.
- 5
Once lukewarm, add a drop or two of olive oil if you like and serve fresh.
🌱 Why is it nourishing?
Carrots are rich in beta-carotene (a precursor to vitamin A) and may support vision and immune health. Their natural sweetness can make it easier for your baby to accept new tastes, while the silky texture offers a gentle introduction to solids from 6 months. Their fiber may also support digestion.
Maiyko's note
At Maiyko we care about simplicity and naturalness on your baby's plate; where possible, choose fresh, vividly colored carrots in season. Choosing GOTS-certified organic cotton for the bibs that touch sensitive skin is part of that same care.
