Food guide

Tofu

Tofu can be introduced around 6 months. It's a versatile plant protein with a mild flavor.

How to serve at this age

6-9 months: Offer strips of firm tofu or mash. 9-12 months: Serve cubes or strips. 12-24 months: Include in stir-fries and various dishes.

Nutrition

Good source of plant protein, calcium (if calcium-set), and iron. Contains all essential amino acids.

A note from the editors

Press tofu to remove water for better texture. It absorbs flavors well from marinades and sauces.

Good to know

Soy is a common allergen. Choose firm or extra-firm tofu for babies - silken may be too slippery.
