Cardamom
Usually introduced around 6 months
How to serve by age
6-9 months
Sprinkle a small pinch of ground cardamom over mango spears, dal, or yogurt, or stir it into idli or pancake batter for baby.
Tiny pinch ground, mixed into food.
9-12 months
Use whole cardamom pods to flavor curries or sauces shared with baby, removing the pods before serving. Start small since cardamom is potent.
Whole pods removed before serving, or small pinch ground.
12-18 months
Cook with cardamom freely in sauces and baked goods. Caffeine-free cardamom tea served warm in an open cup is also fine at this age.
Ground or whole; remove pods/seeds from drinks.
