When preparing a meal or snack at home, we constantly season food to add a little flavor to our delicious creation. Salt, pepper, spices, or aromatic herbs—every family seasons according to their tastes. But what about baby food? During the weaning process, it is strongly advised against adding salt to baby food until the age of 3. Your little one's kidneys are still immature enough to digest salt ; they filter three times less efficiently than an adult's. A baby's nutritional salt requirement is around 1 gram per day. This need is already met by naturally salted foods, so there's no need to add more salt to baby food. How can you add a little flavor to baby food? Aromatic herbs and spices can be used from the start of weaning to add variety and color to baby's meals. For example, the BLW for mushroom risotto balls is seasoned with parsley.
