Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1

    Separate the broccoli florets, wash them well and break into small pieces.

  2. 2

    Steam gently over low heat with a little cooled boiled water until soft enough to mash easily with a fork.

  3. 3

    Let cool slightly; then mash well with a fork or blend until smooth.

  4. 4

    If needed, add a little cooking water bit by bit to reach the consistency your baby likes.

  5. 5

    Serve once you are sure it is lukewarm; start with a few spoonfuls at the first taste.

🌱 Why is it nourishing?

With its soft texture and mild taste, broccoli is a gentle option for meeting green vegetables during solids. Steamed, it takes on a silky consistency and can offer your baby fibre and plant variety. Being made with a single ingredient, it also fits the approach of introducing new tastes one at a time.

Maiyko's note

At Maiyko we believe the solids journey should move forward with patient, simple steps and plenty of love. A green taste feels familiar to some babies at the first try, to others after a few repeats.
