Beetroot Potato Puree for Babies and Toddlers

Beetroot and Potato are wholesome vegetables and great to start as a first food for babies. The natural sweetness from the beetroot and starchy creamy texture from potatoes makes it one of the tasty choices for babies. Few babies may reject individual fruit or vegetable purees, at that time combinations like these are for sure be liked by them. You can even add a little flavor to it by adding spices like cumin or cinnamon powder.

Beetroot is rich in folate and manganese and hence decreases the risk of anemia in babies. It also helps in increased brain activity and aids digestion. Potato is best known for its carbohydrate content, which is much needed for growing babies. On my blog, I’ve posted many puree recipes for babies you can have a look at.

Method

1. There are different ways to cook vegetables or fruits to make puree. I'm using a Vegetable Steamer Basket today to make this puree. I've taken a pan and added a glass or two of water to steam the vegetables and then placed this vegetable steamer basket.
2. Add chopped potato and beetroot. Thinly chopped cooks better.
3. Cover the lid and steam on low or medium flame for about 10-15 minutes.
