This recipe is great for introducing beets to your baby. The potato helps with texture and mellows the beet flavour, though because of the sweetness most babies love beets on their own in a puree as well. It is recommended to introduce beets at the 8 – 10 month mark and be aware that, as with adults, eating many beets can cause red discharge in stool.
Ingredients
1 medium of beets
2 medium potatoes
Bake both the beet and the potato in foil in a 400 degree oven for 45 minutes or until tender. Mash and mix beets and potatoes together. Serve when they have reached room temperature.
