How To Introduce Broccoli for Baby-Led Weaning
Broccoli is a great choice for babies that follow the BLW method. They can easily hold it with their little hands and it has lots of vitamins and fiber. Serve it with a drizzle of olive oil and lemon juice to enhance its flavor.
Ingredients
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lemon
Instructions
Steaming Broccoli
- Add water to a pot (about 2in or 5cm) and bring to a boil. Add the broccoli florets to a steamer basket and place in the pot.
- Cook for 5-7 minutes or until fork-tender and soft but not mushy.
- Drizzle with the olive oil and lemon juice before serving.
Boiling Broccoli
- Add water to a big pot and bring to a boil. Add the broccoli florets in.
- Cook for 5-7 minutes or until fork-tender and soft but not mushy. Remove the broccoli using a collander or slotted spoon and place in a bowl.
- Drizzle with the olive oil and lemon juice before serving.
Notes
- Steaming the broccoli helps to preserve most of its nutrients and goodness.
- Serving the broccoli with lemon juice that contains vitamin C, helps to absorb its vitamins.
