    Cauliflower PureeCauliflower Puree is a simple puree recipe for babies with Cauliflower and butter. Cauliflower is packed with all essential nutrients and vitamins. As Cauliflower is bland in nature, this cauliflower puree is prepared with butter and little pepper powder to make it tasty! This cauliflower puree can be given to babies from 8 months. Read more on when and how to introduce Cauliflower to babies and how to select them.

    When and how to introduce Cauliflower for babies

    Cauliflower is not a great first food for babies as it might cause gas in some babies. Hence, introduce Cauliflower to babies after eight months once the baby is beginning to eat a variety of foods. If the baby has any stomach upset or gas, stop feeding Cauliflower for a while and reintroduce it later moths. When you introduce Cauliflower, you can offer a little amount of steamed Cauliflower puree/mashed Cauliflower and then gradually increase the quantity.

    Cauliflower can be steam cooked or baked for baby food. If the baby does not like the bland taste of the Cauliflower, it can be combined with little spice or vegetables like peas, potatoes, or lentils.

    How to select and store Cauliflower

    Choose a tender cauliflower that is wrapped with more green leaves. After buying them, store it in a refrigerator with a stem portion down to retain the moisture.
