Ingredients

How to prepare each food

Tofu

Prep

Use soft or silken tofu. Mash it smooth and stir into purées, or cut firmer tofu into finger-length strips a baby can grip in a fist. Tofu takes on the flavor of whatever you mix it with, so blend it with fruit or vegetable you have already introduced.

Cut

Smooth mash stirred into a purée, or finger-length strips of firmer tofu.

Note

Tofu is soft and low-risk, but a firm or extra-firm block cut into large cubes can still be a mouthful. Keep pieces small and soft, and let any firmer tofu stay graspable rather than slippery and round.

Broccoli

Prep

Steam, roast or boil broccoli until a fork slides through it easily, and serve it warm. A whole soft floret gives a handy stalk to hold while the bushy top is easy to gum. The florets should be fork-soft, not crisp. You can also mash or purée cooked broccoli.

Cut

Whole soft floret with a stalk to hold, or mashed/puréed.

Putting it together

Prepare each ingredient using the age guidance above, then serve them together.
