Currant
Usually introduced around 6 months
Choking notes
Fresh currants are small, round, and slippery, which greatly raises the choking risk. Crush or flatten them by age, and serve whole only with care once your toddler chews well. Dried currants are best kept until around 24 months, rehydrated and minced.

Crush fresh currants or cook them until they burst, then mix the fruit into soft scoopable food like porridge or yogurt.
