About Nuts Powder for Babies

Nuts Powder for Babies is made with roasted cashews, almonds and sometimes little pistachios. The nuts are roasted lightly and ground to coarse powder so they release natural oil but not turn into paste. This recipe makes it easy to mix into baby food without choking risk.

The cardamon in this recipe adds for mild aroma and flavor. It is safe for babies in small amount and gives nice smell. You can skip it if you want plain taste, but I like to add little for flavor. The smell is so nice, and storing it in clean jar keeps it fresh for long in fridge. It feels nice to have homemade healthy option ready anytime for my little one.

Making nuts powder at home also ensures there is no added sugar, salt or preservatives, which is always better for babies. The texture can be adjusted depending on age - little coarse for older babies and fine for smaller ones. It gives natural energy and helps in keeping babies full for longer time.

I usually make this powder in small batch during weekends. I roast nuts slowly and grind it just enough to make coarse powder.

Please remember mothers feed is the best and its always good to start with other food only after the baby finishes 6 months. These baby food recipes will help those who are not able to breast feed due to personal / medical conditions. Always consult your pediatrician before introducing any new food.
