Radish
Usually introduced around 6 months
How to serve by age

9-12 months
Move down in size: quartered or thin slices of cooked, soft radish for the pincer grasp. Small amounts of grated raw also expose flavor.
Cooked quarters or thin slices, or small amounts grated raw.
12-18 months
Offer thinly sliced or grated raw radish, or continue cooked bite-sized pieces. Pre-load a fork or spoon to encourage utensil practice.
