A smooth, light purée that gently introduces your baby to green vegetables from 7 months. A simple, easy-to-digest start that can be served on its own or with a familiar vegetable.
Ingredients
- 1 small bunch (about 150 g) Fresh broccoli (florets)

- 1 teaspoon Extra virgin olive oil (optional)
Directions
- 1
Wash the broccoli well under plenty of water and separate the florets into small pieces.

Steam for 10-12 minutes until soft enough for a fork to pierce easily (you may also boil it in a little water).
- 3
Place the cooked broccoli in a bowl; add a little lukewarm drinking water and mash with a fork or blend until smooth.
- 4
Adjust the consistency to be quite runny for 7 months; add a spoonful of water at a time if needed.

If you like, add a few drops of extra virgin olive oil and stir.
- 6
Make sure it is lukewarm and offer it to your baby in small amounts with a spoon.
🌱 Why is it nourishing?
Broccoli is a green vegetable rich in vitamin C, folate and fibre, and it can contribute to your baby's balanced nutrition. Its smooth texture makes it easier for babies new to solids to try a new taste. Serving it as a single ingredient helps you observe any possible reactions.
Maiyko's note
Broccoli's mild aroma may seem unfamiliar at first; with a few tries, most babies get used to the new taste. During these gentle moments in the kitchen, Maiyko's organic cotton bibs and clothing keep your little one comfortable and soft.
