Pea Purée — A Soft, Green First Meal for 7+ Months
A light and nourishing green purée made from fresh or frozen peas, cooked until very soft and blended smooth. Rich in plant protein, fibre and vitamin C, it is a natural first meal for babies aged 7+ months who are new to solids; its velvety texture makes spoon-feeding easier.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Peas (fresh or frozen, shelled)
- 1 - 1.5 cups Drinking water (boiled and cooled to lukewarm)
- a few drops (optional) Olive oil
Directions
- 1
If using fresh peas, shell and rinse them; frozen peas can be used directly.
- 2
Place the peas and drinking water in a small pot; once it comes to a boil, simmer over low heat for about 12-15 minutes until the peas are very soft.
- 3
Blend the cooked peas with a little of the cooking water.
- 4
Pass the purée through a fine sieve so no skins remain and the texture turns velvety; this step makes swallowing easier for 7-month-old babies.
- 5
Add a few drops of olive oil if you like and adjust the consistency with the cooking water.
- 6
Let it cool to lukewarm, check the temperature and serve with a spoon.
🌱 Why is it nourishing?
Peas are a light green vegetable rich in plant protein, fibre, vitamin C and folate, and can gently help diversify your baby's diet during the complementary feeding period. When passed through a fine sieve, the skins are removed and a smooth, velvety texture forms, which makes swallowing easier for babies new to spoon-feeding. With their natural, mild taste, they support your baby in getting used to new textures and green vegetables.
