Mushroom White
White button mushrooms can be introduced around 6 months when cooked. They have a mild flavor and soft texture.
How to serve at this age
6-9 months: Saute until soft and finely chop or puree. 9-12 months: Offer soft cooked pieces. 12-24 months: Include in various dishes.
Nutrition
Good source of B vitamins, selenium, and potassium. Contains vitamin D if exposed to sunlight. Low in calories.
A note from the editors
Wipe mushrooms clean with a damp cloth rather than washing. Cooking brings out their umami flavor.
Good to know
Always cook mushrooms for babies - raw mushrooms are hard to digest. Clean but don't soak - they absorb water.
