The possibilities of what to do with Piccolo Cherry Tomatoes are endless, they’re almost tomatoo good to be true – especially when it comes to weaning your little one!
Piccolos are rich in Vitamins E, C and K, as well as being a valuable source of the antioxidant lycopene – and not to mention seriously delicious!
It’s remarkable how your baby suddenly transforms into a top detective at mealtimes, scrupulously on the hunt for signs of veggies.
But what I’ve discovered is that while little ones think they don’t like vegetables, they really just don’t like the look of them!
So here are some brand new weaning recipes to try our on your tiny taster.
Enjoy!
