What's in it
Tap any ingredient for its safe form at your baby's age — the recipe assumes those preps.
Steps
- 01Boil 1/3 cup shelled edamame until very soft, about 8 minutes.
- 02Blend the edamame with 3 steamed broccoli florets and 1 tsp olive oil.
- 03Loosen with cooking water until completely smooth — edamame skins hide lumps.
- 04Serve warm on a spoon, or as a thick dip for a teething biscuit from 9 months.
Why it works
Edamame doubles as a soy allergen exposure and a plant-iron source, and broccoli's vitamin C helps that iron absorb — olive oil smooths the grassy edge and adds calories.
Storage
Keeps 48 hours in the fridge or 2 months frozen in cubes; reheat to steaming and cool.
