Broccoli puree

Overview

The nutritional content of broccoli ranks first among similar vegetables and is known as the crown of vegetables. Some people call broccoli a god-sent medicine and a poor man's doctor. Broccoli ranks first in terms of average nutritional value and disease prevention effects. Broccoli and cauliflower are extremely nutritious, and both have anti-cancer effects and improve the body's immunity. Recipe tips: Broccoli and cauliflower can easily cause bloating in babies, so they can be added after the baby is 10 months old. (In fact, Yuzi’s mother has always advocated adding complementary foods in no order) Although cauliflower is rich in nutrients, it often contains residual pesticides and is prone to cabbage bugs. Therefore, before eating, wash the broccoli with running water, and then soak it in salt water for 10 minutes. Through soaking, most of the pesticides that have not been absorbed on the surface can be removed. Then blanch the water, and the absorbed pesticides can also be removed by blanching the water.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Take the flower spike part of broccoli and remove the root part (the root part can be fried and eaten). Add salt and soak the broccoli for 10 minutes, then rinse with running water. (When choosing broccoli, be sure to choose green ones with short flower stalks! Remember to choose the flower spike part as much as possible when making complementary food for your baby.)

   

2. 2 Treat it the same way as cauliflower.

   

3. 3 After the water boils, put it in and cook over high heat for 5 minutes until cooked. (Just boil the water for 5 minutes. Over time, the cellulose will be destroyed.)

   

4. 4 The same goes for cauliflower.

   

5. 5 Put them together into a blender, add some cold water and puree. Be sure to add water when putting it into the food processor, otherwise the puree will be granular and not fine enough.

   

6. 6 Many mothers ask how to preserve complementary foods. The methods of preservation are the same for both vegetarian and meat products. Food to be eaten within three days can be placed in the food box and refrigerated. When eating, take it out and steam it thoroughly.

   

7. 7 Since it is whipped with a mixer, the amount is still a bit large, so I usually can’t finish it in 3 days, so I put it in a smaller food box and freeze it! Once completely frozen, take them out one by one, put them in a plastic bag and continue freezing! When eating, take it out together with other complementary foods and steam it thoroughly.
