First Post & First Food

As avocado was the first solid food I introduced to my daughter, it only makes sense that avocado is the debut topic for my fist blog post. Avocado has all of the necessary nutrients to sustain the human body and is a great super-food with over 12 vitamins and minerals in a single serving. On top of that, it is soft and mash-able for baby gums, new teeth, and small throats.

Shopping Tip: When testing if an avocado is ripe, it should be dark green and little bit soft when gently squeezed. Another way to tell if an avocado is ripe is to test if the stem is easily removed. A ripe avocado’s stem can be removed by just a quick flick of the thumb.

When feeding avocado to your little one, simply;

·         slice the avocado open

·         de-pit

·         spoon out the meat

·         mash the meat with a fork

·         serve and enjoy!

Stay tuned for more recipes including this super-food and great first food for babies.
