Cauliflower Purée — A Soft, Light First Vegetable Recipe for 6+ Months
A simple, light first vegetable purée in which fresh cauliflower is steamed until tender and blended until smooth. Prepared from 6 months onward without any added sweeteners or seasoning — an easy-to-digest, naturally mild introduction.
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Fresh cauliflower (cut into small florets)
- 1 cup Drinking water (for steaming)
- 2-3 drops Extra virgin olive oil (optional)
Directions
- 1
Wash your hands and the bowl and spoons you will use. Rinse the cauliflower under running water and separate it into small florets.
- 2
Place the florets in a steamer basket, or in a pot with a little water; steam over low heat for 12-15 minutes, until they mash easily with a fork.
- 3
Drain the cooked cauliflower, setting aside some of the steaming water to adjust the consistency.
- 4
Transfer the cauliflower to a bowl and mash with a fork or blend until smooth; add a little of the reserved steaming water as needed for a soft, flowing texture.
- 5
If you like, stir in a few drops of extra virgin olive oil; do not add any sweeteners or seasoning.
- 6
Bring the purée to a lukewarm temperature you test on the back of your hand and serve fresh while your baby is seated and supervised.
🌱 Why is it nourishing?
Cauliflower is a light, easy-to-digest vegetable rich in vitamin C and fibre, which can make it a gentle option for babies newly starting solids. Blended smooth, it offers a soft texture and can support getting used to different vegetable flavours. Its plain preparation gives your baby room to discover the natural taste of vegetables. A few drops of olive oil may contribute to the intake of fat-soluble nutrients.
