Almonds
Under the age of 2, the baby's brain develops at a dizzying rate, so the baby needs to be provided with enough nutrients to meet the growing needs of the body. The nutrition contained in Almonds is essential for brain development. The presence of riboflavin (vitamin B2) and L-carnitine in almonds helps stimulate brain activity. The high fiber content present in almonds can also prevent constipation and strengthen the digestive system in children by regulating bowel movements. At the same time, thanks to the relatively high presence of phosphorus and calcium in almonds, eating almonds helps children strengthen the health of bones and teeth when they grow up.
Not only that, the good properties of almonds also help prevent osteoporosis later in life. Natural almonds are alkaline in nature, plus the presence of a lot of antioxidants, so eating almonds will help the body eliminate toxins thereby increasing your child's immunity significantly. The presence of several essential fatty acids gives almonds their excellent anti-inflammatory properties, thereby helping to protect your child's health into adulthood. Almonds are a benign nut, but when you let your child enjoy them, you should also pay attention to whether anyone has a family history of allergies to nuts, if so, the baby is also likely to be allergic to it. Almonds should be monitored when using.
Some ways to prepare Almonds for baby weaning:
- Almond milk: Soak almonds overnight. The next morning peel off the skin and grind the almonds with milk. Then heat the milk and add the oatmeal until it boils. If you are using sugar, add at this time, stirring to taste. If you use honey to sweeten it, turn off the heat and let it cool slightly before adding honey. If honey is added to the milk when it is too hot, it will lose nutrients. Only sugar and honey should be used for babies over 1 year old. Cool and filter the milk to separate the residue if your baby is young, it is best to drink the whole thing.
- Almond Apples: Slice an apple and boil in water until soft, then add finely ground almonds to the boil. Stir well until smooth, soft can be used by children.
- Lotus seed and almond sweet soup: Soak lotus seeds and almonds separately in warm water to soften the seeds. Then boil the water to soften the lotus seeds and almonds. Once cooked, take out, mix with sugar water to absorb sweetness.
- Almond egg soup for babies: First, soak the almonds in a bowl of cold water for about 30 minutes. Then proceed to peel the brown silk to get the white part! Next, put almonds and plain rice into the soy milk maker, pour in 800ml of filtered water, and start the machine for about 20 minutes. After the soy milk maker has been operating for 20 minutes, comb the almond rice milk mixture obtained through a sieve until smooth. Pour the almond rice milk mixture into the pot, add 30g of rock sugar, bring to a boil over low heat. Finally, separate the egg whites, put them in a pot of milk, stir until the egg whites are cooked, then turn off the heat. Ladle the almond rice milk egg soup into a bowl, wait for it to cool down a bit, then you can blow it and feed it to your baby!
