Fun Facts

  1. The nutritional value of peas is amazing when you think of the small size of a cup of peas. Did you know that one cup of peas contains more protein that a tablespoon of peanut butter and also provides Calcium, Vitamin A and C and Iron too.
  2. When making homemade peas for baby, you may find it tough getting the “skins” to puree smoothly. If this is the case and your baby is not used to textures yet, you might wish to run them through a strainer or sieve.
  3. Peas are typically recommended for introduction into a baby’s diet between 6-8 months old. As always, it is recommended that you thoroughly discuss any feeding issues with your pediatrician as generalities may not apply to your child.
  4. Steaming or boiling peas in a scant amount of water is the best way to cook peas for baby food. For a nice flavor, cook peas in a homemade vegetable, chicken or beef stock.
