Zucchini Purée — A Light, Silky First Vegetable for 6+ Months
With its high water content and silky texture once cooked, zucchini can be a gentle first vegetable in complementary feeding. This simple recipe is prepared with nothing added, from 6 months onward.
Ingredients
- 1 small piece (about 150 g) Fresh zucchini (peeled, large seeds removed, finely chopped)
- 2-3 tablespoons Drinking water (for steaming)
- 1-2 tablespoons Breast milk or formula (optional, for consistency)
Directions
- 1
Wash your hands and the bowl, spoon and worktop you will use. Make sure the zucchini is fresh and firm.
- 2
Peel the zucchini, remove the central part with large seeds if any, and cut it into small pieces.
- 3
Steam the pieces or cook them in a little water for about 8-10 minutes, until soft enough to mash easily with a fork.
- 4
Mash the cooked zucchini until smooth or blend it; if needed, add some of the cooking water or breast milk/formula to reach a runny, silky consistency suitable for this age.
- 5
Serve it plain with nothing added, once it has cooled to lukewarm, checking the temperature on yourself first.
- 6
Introduce any new food on its own for 3 days, and always feed your baby under supervision.
🌱 Why is it nourishing?
With its high water content and soft texture, zucchini is well suited as a gentle first vegetable in complementary feeding. Its mild, neutral taste may help your baby get used to new textures. The water and fibre it contains can help offer a light, digestion-friendly meal. Because it becomes silky once cooked, it is well suited to first spoonfuls.
