Baby spinach puree recipe steps

Spinach has high nutritional value and contains more vitamins. It is a delicious nutritional supplement for babies. Many parents want to make some spinach for their babies, but they don’t know how to cook it so that it is suitable for their babies to eat. Because babies’ teeth are not fully developed and it is not easy for them to chew the leaves, making spinach puree is a good way. Let’s talk about the steps to make baby spinach puree.

Spinach puree is a delicacy. The main ingredients are: 1 pound of spinach, 2 cents of minced ginger, 2 pieces of fragrant dried tofu, 8 cents of fine salt, 3 cents of dried shrimp, 3 cents of white sugar, 2 cents of cooked salted lean meat, and 3 cents of sesame oil.

Food practice:

1. Remove the old leaves of the spinach, peel off the root tips and wash them. Put them in a pot of boiling water and blanch them until the water boils again (turn the vegetables over in the middle). Stop for a while, pick them up and drain them, then straighten them and squeeze out the water, chop them into small pieces, squeeze out the water again, put them in a bowl, add salt and sugar and mix well.

2. Wash the dried shrimps to remove dust and impurities, put them in a small bowl, add boiling water just enough to cover the dried shrimps (it is best to steam them in a steamer for 20 minutes), soak them until soft, and then cut them into small pieces. The fragrant dried tofu and cooked salted lean meat are also chopped into small pieces. Pour the above-mentioned powders together with ginger powder and soaked dried shrimps into the spinach, drizzle with sesame oil, mix well and it is done.

TIP: After washing the spinach, blanch it with oil and salt water, then rinse it with cold water (preferably ice water) immediately to preserve the green color. Spinach is the best source of iron, carotene, B vitamins, folic acid, etc. Mothers naturally hope that their babies can eat it frequently. But it must be noted that in addition to rich trace elements, spinach also contains a substance called oxalic acid, which will combine with calcium in food to form calcium oxalate, affecting the baby's absorption of calcium in food.

These are the steps to make baby spinach puree. Since it is for babies, the first thing that comes to mind is how to make the spinach softer and more broken. It must be cooked in a way that is suitable for babies to prevent them from getting stuck or choking. You should also pay attention to the combination of vegetables. You can also add other vegetables to the spinach puree to make vegetable puree, which will be more nutritious.
