Strawberries are loaded with Vitamin C and antioxidants, which makes excellent healthy food for babies, toddlers, and kids. It's also apt to consume berries during winters. I tried this creamy pink strawberry milkshake with homemade chocolate syrup, which I posted recently. It turned out super delicious 🙂
When to introduce Strawberry for babies:
Strawberries are one of the potential allergens; hence its recommended to add strawberry for babies during 10-12 months age. But recent studies are suggesting to introduce 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, and hence it is not necessary to remove the seeds, but buying organic strawberries is highly recommended.
How to select Strawberries :
Look for a strawberry fruit with the skin not bruised, no visible cuts and leaves with beautiful green color. Choose ripe and organic strawberries for best results.
