Wash the spinach thoroughly in plenty of water and remove the thick stems.

4
In the last 2-3 minutes, add the spinach and cook together until fully soft.

Mash or blend the cooked vegetables until smooth; add the olive oil.

🌱 Why is it nourishing?

Spinach is a leafy green valued for nutrients such as folate and iron; when well cooked it can be gently introduced from six months. Potato makes the purée creamy with its soft texture and energy, while olive oil adds a healthy fat. Its smooth consistency is a comfortable, familiar start for babies meeting the spoon for the first time.

Maiyko's note

Choosing fresh, ideally organic spinach keeps this purée as natural as possible. At Maiyko we believe in softness at the table and on the skin alike; organic cotton bibs gently accompany these little moments of discovery.
