BROCCOLI FOR BABY LED WEANING
Broccoli has always been one of my favourite vegetables. I love eating it raw, dipped in hummus, throwing it in stir fried, baking it in the oven with a little olive oil or boiling it quickly to serve alongside a wholesome Sunday dinner.
Broccoli can also easily be grated and added to muffins, pasta sauces and savoury pancake batter, boosting the nutritional value of your and your baby’s food.
