    Beetroot Recipes for Baby

    Beetroot is a bright red, sweet vegetable that is packed with nutrients. It's high in fiber, Vitamin C & calcium, which are vital for baby's development and preventing anemia in babies and toddlers.

    Beetroot can be given in various ways to your baby. Here are some ways to include beetroots in your baby's diet with more information about the nutritional benefits of beetroots, how and when to introduce Beetroot to baby etc.

    When can I introduce Beetroot to my baby?

    Beetroot can be given to babies from 7 months after introducing a few vegetables, fruits, rice, etc.  Wash, peel the skin, and steam the Beetroot for baby food. You can also peel the skin off from Beetroot after cooking them. But make sure to peel the skin of Beetroot as it is not easily digestible for babies.

    Start with plain beetroot puree when you introduce Beetroot to your baby. Start with 1-2 teaspoon and increase the quantity slowly if your baby is having no tummy troubles or allergies. Don't panic if you see red color in your baby's poop after introducing Beetroot; it's completely normal.

    Gradually you can also combine with other vegetables like carrot, potato, peas, sweet potato, lentils, rice, etc. After eight months, you can include sliced steam-cooked soft beetroot sticks as finger food to babies.
