What's in it
Tap any ingredient for its safe form at your baby's age — the recipe assumes those preps.
Steps
- 01Steam a few strips of red bell pepper until very soft; slip off the skins.
- 02Mash 3 tbsp firm tofu with a fork until crumbly-smooth.
- 03Mash the pepper into the tofu until the mix turns pale orange.
- 04Serve as a mash, or roll into soft pinches for practicing pincer grasp.
Why it works
Tofu brings plant iron plus a soy exposure worth keeping regular, and red pepper is one of the richest vitamin-C foods there is — sweet enough that babies rarely object.
Storage
Keeps 24 hours covered in the fridge; drain any pooled water and stir before serving.
