Spice Up Their Lives

Baby Food Edition


Cinnamon


The idea that baby food has to be bland is a thing of the past! Add a dash or two of cinnamon to baby's favorite foods (apples, pears, or even sweet potato).

Wholesomebabyfood.com suggests the following as good 'baby's first' spices to try:
  • vanilla
  • pepper
  • garlic - minced or powdered
  • basil
  • rosemary
  • dill
  • oregano
  • lemon zest
  • ginger
  • cinnamon
  • mint
  • nutmeg
  • anise
  • curry powder (yes, you may offer your older infant a dash of curry powder in her foods. You do need to watch for any reactions as some components of curry or even chili powder may give baby a rash)
