Keep an eye on

Do NOT buy a product without reading the label
Do not cut too large: choking hazard
Do not leave avocado pit in the recipe
Do not give whole watermelon pieces to under 24 months
Do not add salt: baby's immature kidneys
⚠️ NEVER serve a product that may contain hidden mustard

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 mustard-free
Check LABELS even for 'obvious' products (e.g. vanilla extract sometimes contains mustard derivatives)
Take out 30 min before for better incorporation

Adjust the texture (quinoa flour if too sticky)
Shape the small skewers with oiled hands
Place on a tray

3. Cooking (steamed)
