Ingredients

150 g Fresh zucchini (washed, peeled, chopped)
3-4 tablespoons Boiled and cooled drinking water
1-2 tablespoons Breast milk or your baby's formula (optional, for consistency)

Directions

1
Wash the zucchini well, peel it and chop into small cubes.
2
Steam the chopped zucchini, or cook it in a little water, until completely soft — about 8-10 minutes.
3
Drain the cooked zucchini and let it cool slightly.
4
Mash the zucchini with a fork, or blend it for a smooth texture.
5
If the consistency is too thick for your baby, thin it with a little boiled, cooled water or breast milk/formula.
6
Serve the purée warm; a few spoonfuls are enough for a first taste.

🌱 Why is it nourishing?

Because zucchini is a watery vegetable with soft fibre, it is gentle on your baby's digestive system and has a mild flavour that is often easily accepted during the move to solid foods. Alongside its water and fibre, it provides a small amount of potassium and vitamin C. Its smooth texture can make a lovely starting point for babies who are new to spoon-feeding.
