Nuts Powder for Babies
Nuts Powder for Babies is an easy and healthy mix you can make at home. It is made by roasting and grinding nuts into soft coarse powder that mix well with milk, porridge or any baby-safe food. This is good for babies around 8 to 12 months when they start solids and need little extra nutrition for growth.
Servings5 cup
Ingredients
- ½ cup cashews whole
- ½ cup almonds
- 2 tablespoon pistachios optional
- 3 cardamom
Instructions
- Measure and get ready with your ingredients. Dry roast the nuts together until slightly brown spots appear here and there. Cool down.
- Transfer the nuts to a clean dry mixer, peel the skin of cardamom, add it and grind it coarsely. Do not grind more, the nuts will release oil and it will become pasty.
Notes
- Roasting nuts – I roast nuts slowly till light brown spots come. This gives flavor and makes grinding easier.
- Cool before grinding – I always let nuts cool fully before grinding, else they release oil and turn paste.
- Coarse grind – I just grinded them only little for coarse texture. This makes mixing easy in baby food.
- Dry mixer – Completely dry the mixer grinder and grind it. Even small moisture can spoil the powder.
- Optional – I keep the skin for fiber and nutrients. I have also used peeled nuts sometimes.
