Indian Food Cuisine

If you are into making your own baby food then you are likely using a blender. There are numerous healthy blender recipes that are quick and easy to make. Once you have made the pureed blends of baby food, cover immediately and refrigerate (for no longer than 3 days) or else place in freezer.

Baby food recipes are not difficult and are fairly basic.

Fruit - usually good for 6+ months

Wash the fruit and cook in a small pot of boiling water until it is soft. Then transfer to a blender and puree until smooth. Make sure there are no seeds or skin in the puree.

If you are using ripe and soft fruit such as a banana or a peach then you can usually skip the boiling step and just put straight into the blender. Always make sure the puree is free of any chunks, seeds or skin pieces.

If you are using frozen fruit, thaw it slightly before you blend.

Vegetables - usually good for 5+ months

Once babies reach the age of 5 months they can typically handle pureed carrots, squash, sweet potatoes, beets, spinach, peas and green beans. You will want to either steam, boil or bake the vegetables first before you transfer to the blender to be pureed.

Remember that babies should not be fed corn nor should you add any salt, sugar or fat to your blender recipes.

Blender or Food Processor?

If you are considering making your babies first foods from scratch then you may be wondering whether it would be better to use a blender or a food processor. If you use a blender you will definitely need to make sure that your fruits or vegetables are soft before you blend them. A food processor gives you the added versatility of being able to grind up your veggies first and then puree them. However a blender is really all you need and it typically costs less, takes up less room and is easier to clean. However your choice will depend on your own personal preference.

Making your own baby food does not have to be difficult and it allows you to provide healthy and fresh food for your infant. Using a simple blender will make the process quick, easy and very rewarding.
