Keep an eye on

Do NOT buy a product without reading the label
Do not cut too large: choking hazard
Do not give whole beans to under 24 months (mash well)
Do not leave thick turnip skin
Do not add salt: baby's immature kidneys
⚠️ NEVER serve a product that may contain hidden wheat

Texture tip

Cut ALL pieces the same size for even cooking
For 12-18 months: thinner pieces (1 cm)
Test cooking with a fork: should be melting-tender
KEEP PACKAGING of sensitive products to prove gluten-free
Check LABELS even for 'obvious' products (e.g. canned beans sometimes have wheat additives)
Take out 30 min before for better incorporation

Adjust the texture (rice flour if too sticky)
Shape the wraps with oiled hands
Place on a tray
