Strawberries are loaded with Vitamin C and antioxidants which makes a great healthy food for babies, toddlers and kids. It’s also apt to consume strawberries 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 introduce strawberry for babies during 10-12 months age. But recent studies are suggesting to introduce allergen foods sooner, hence consult with your doctor about the same. When you introduce, u can offer mashed strawberries or cut tiny pieces of strawberries as finger food if your baby can handle the same. The tiny seeds of the strawberries is completely edible and hence its 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 nice green color. Choose ripe and organic strawberries for best results.
