How to make the porridge
Start by carefully peeling the carrot, washing it thoroughly and cutting it into small, even pieces.
Then move on to the apple, peel it, remove the seeds and cut it into pieces too.
Now place the prepared apple and carrot pieces in a steamer. Add a little water and let them steam until they are nice and soft. This steaming process preserves the full flavor and nutrients of the ingredients.
Alternatively, you can also boil the mixture, but bear in mind that this can lead to a slightly increased loss of nutrients.
Once the apple and carrot pieces are tender, puree them into a fine mash. This mixture produces a wonderfully velvety porridge that is both nutritious and delicious. Enjoy this healthy treat!
The homemade porridge can be easily prepared in our baby porridge warmer both at home and conveniently on the go.
Good to know: Carrots
Rich in nutrients: Carrots are rich in important nutrients such as vitamins A, C and K as well as folic acid and potassium. These nutrients are crucial for the growth and development of babies.
Low allergy risk: Carrots are considered one of the least allergenic foods and are therefore a good option as a first complementary food for babies. Allergic reactions are rare, making them a safe choice.
Easy to digest: Carrots are easy to digest and can be easily adapted to the developing digestive system of babies. They are a good source of fiber, which can help promote healthy digestion.
High beta-carotene content: Carrots contain beta-carotene, a precursor of vitamin A. Vitamin A is important for the development of vision and the immune system in babies.
