Cucumber Sticks (Seedless)

Ingredients

• 1/2 cucumber

Method

1. 01

   Wash cucumber thoroughly under running water.

2. 02

   Peel if desired (peeled cucumber is easier to digest for young babies).

3. 03

   Cut the cucumber in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds with a small spoon.

4. 04

   Cut the cucumber halves into long finger-width sticks.

5. 05

   Serve at room temperature or slightly chilled.

How to offer

Place 2–3 cucumber sticks on the high chair tray. The cool, crunchy texture is great for teething babies. Supervise closely — while soft, cucumber can break into pieces. Remove seeds to reduce gagging.

Storage

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
