My Dad grows beets in his garden and bestowed a beautiful bundle of beets upon me at the end of the summer. I just had to share them with Maya. I’m always looking for new baby food to give her. I wouldn’t say she loved them but she did eat them. You can mix the pureed beets with a little formula or breast milk to make more palatable if you have to.
Beets are super healthy – they are high in fiber, Vitamin C and other essential minerals for your baby.
They are the most beautifully colored food.
They stain easily so try and stay neat while cooking the beet.
Cut off the roots and stems and peel. Cut up into chunks.
Steam for 15 minutes or until fork tender.
Puree.
