🌱 Why is it nourishing?
With its mild taste and vitamin C, cauliflower can offer a gentle entry into your baby's world of vegetables. The potato adds a velvety texture and soft energy to the purée, while the olive oil can help make use of some of the vitamins in the vegetables. Light and easy to digest, it can be a calm part of the complementary-feeding stage.
