When to introduce Strawberries for babies:

Strawberries are one of the potential allergens; hence, adding strawberries for babies during 10-12 months is recommended. But recent studies are suggesting introducing allergen foods sooner. Therefore consult with your doctor about the same. When you introduce, you can offer mashed strawberries or cut tiny pieces of strawberries as finger food if your baby can handle the same. The small seeds of the strawberries are entirely edible; hence, removing the seeds is unnecessary, but buying organic strawberries is highly recommended.

How to select Strawberries :

Look for a strawberry fruit with a skin not bruised, no visible cuts, and leaves with beautiful green color. Choose ripe and organic strawberries for the best results.
