Keep an eye on

Do NOT buy a product without reading the label
Do not cut too large: choking hazard
Do not give whole green beans to under 18 months
Do not leave stringy parts on green beans
Do not add salt: baby's immature kidneys
⚠️ NEVER serve a product that may contain hidden milk

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
