Lentils feature high up in the list of Superfoods. They are an excellent source of protein, iron, zinc and potassium. Iron from non-animal sources like lentils is not easy to absorb, in order to boost iron absorption you need to give vitamin C rich fruit or diluted juice at the same meal. You can transform this tasty puree into a soup for the family simply by adding more stock and some seasoning.

A vegetarian baby’s first tastes of food are the same as for other babies i.e. fruit and vegetable purees. But from around seven months when proteins are being introduced, it differs. Instead of meat, give dairy foods, eggs and lentils. It’s not as easy to absorb iron from non animal sources, so it’s a good idea to give vitamin C rich fruit juice like my Apple and Raspberry juice concentrate to boost iron absorption. |
