Ingredients: Butternut & Broccoli & Green Beans

Butternut is a rich source of beta-carotene. It has anti-oxidant abilities, is good for vision and healthy skin and can inhibit cancer cell development. Butternut is a popular starter food, since this lovely tasting carbohydrate will not only fill your babies’ tummy, but is packed with nutrients and fibre.

Broccoli is high in iron and folic acid and therefore protects against anaemia, blood and gum disease. Broccoli is also a top anti-cancer vegetable. Because it is a dark green leafy vegetable, it has lots of chlorophyll which helps block cell mutations or changes that precede cancer. Broccoli has high amounts of cancer-fighting carotene from vitamin A. It is also high in vitamin C and thus good to fight viruses. Broccoli is also full of other healing nutrients and minerals. It has lots of calcium to maintain strong bones and teeth and aids the digestion of food. Although these nutrient dense ‘green trees’ are essential in your babies’ diet, be aware that it might cause wind in babies prone to having colic. It might therefore be a good idea to feed it during lunch, rather than before bedtime at night.

Green beans are rich in protein, fibre, the B Vitamins and minerals. The presence of vitamin K makes them good for bone health. They are also good for heart health and for children suffering from asthma. Green beans are further a good source of iron, which make them an essential food for your developing baby.
