How to make zucchini for baby food

For some complementary foods suitable for babies, zucchini is a very good choice, because zucchini contains high nutritional value. In Northeast my country, zucchini is also called horned melon. Zucchini can not only be used for cooking, but also for cold dishes, and it can be used to make dumpling fillings. It tastes very good. When making it for babies, you must be more careful. So how to make baby complementary food zucchini?

Shredded zucchini mixed with oil to lock in nutrition for your baby

Stir the cut zucchini shreds evenly with cooking oil and then stir-fry. This is equivalent to putting a layer of "coat" on the zucchini, which can wrap up the nutrients of the zucchini. The moisture contained in the zucchini itself is not easy to leak out during frying, making it easy for the baby to absorb the nutrients.

Don't keep zucchini for a long time

Whether zucchini is stored at room temperature or in the refrigerator, it will become bitter over time and babies will not like to eat it. This bitterness is not caused by toxic substances, but by the bitter substances contained in the food itself. Adding some vinegar during cooking can reduce the bitterness.
