Apple With Carrot And Raisins

Apple With Carrot And Raisins

Apple With Carrot And Raisins. A nutritious meal for babies 8 months and above.

A few months back I was reading about introducing more variety of food groups to my daughter’s diet. That time I came across “Raisins” as an add-on to any baby food.

So, in today’s shared recipe, I have added raisins to apple and carrots then have given a hint of nutmeg to it. Raisins, apples, and carrots are all high in nutritional value and can benefit your growing baby.

I started giving my little one raisins around 9 months. Raisins are considered to be one of the choking hazards, as babies are not able to chew in this tender age. So it is Extremely Important to give raisins in a form of puree Only.

Raisins are dried grapes. They can be a very nutritious addition to a baby’s diet. Raisins are high in potassium and iron. They are also rich in calcium and fiber.

Hence adding little raisins to your baby’s food relieve constipation. Other benefits include maintaining bone health, cancer prevention and helps in absorption of other proteins, vitamins, and minerals.

When buying raisins for baby food, it’s better to go for organic ones. Raisins are dried grapes, and imported grapes appear on the Environmental Working Group’s list of the ‘Dirty Dozen‘ – which contain the 12 foods found most frequently to contain pesticide residues.

Also, organically produced raisins do not contain sulfites which are used to maintain raisins color. These can sometimes cause allergic reactions.

So, with little caution Raisins can be a wonderful addition to your baby’s diet.
