Quinoa, one of the oldest grains of the Peruvian Andes, is cooked with apple and puréed into an iron-rich meal for babies. With no added sugar, the sweetness comes from the fruit alone.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Rinse the quinoa

1 min

Rub the quinoa under running water in a fine-mesh sieve for at least 1 minute, until the bitter saponin coating is washed off.

2

Cook

10 min

Bring the rinsed quinoa and apple cubes to a boil in the water, then simmer covered over low heat for 10 minutes, until the grains soften and their little tails appear.

3

Purée

2 min

Let the cooked mixture cool slightly, then blend or mash with a fork to a texture suited to your baby's stage.

Reminder

If you do not rinse the quinoa thoroughly, the natural saponin coating on the grains leaves a bitter taste; do not skip the rinse.

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

For babies over 8 months, you can leave the texture a little thicker and serve it without fully mashing the grains. Pear works in the same quantity as the apple.

Kinoayı tarifte söylendiği kadar durulamama rağmen hafif acımsı bir tat kaldı, galiba bizim kinoa markası daha uzun yıkanmayı gerektiriyor. Ayrıca püre benim bebeğim için fazla sulu oldu, suyu azaltıp tekrar denedim.
