Keep an eye on

Do NOT buy a product without reading the label
Do not cut too large: choking hazard
Do not forget to remove tomato seeds
Do not leave plum pits in the recipe
Do not add salt: baby's immature kidneys
⚠️ NEVER serve a product that may contain hidden nuts

Texture tip

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

9 min
