Greens, including parsley, dill, basil, cilantro, etc., are an excellent addition to a child’s diet.
The named products enrich the taste of dishes, improve appetite and provide the body with essential vitamins and minerals.
When introducing greens into a child’s diet, it is important to take into account the child’s age and individual characteristics.
Typically, parsley, dill, spinach and rhubarb can be introduced into the diet as early as 8 months.
When your child turns one year old, you can introduce him to green onions, basil, sorrel, lettuce leaves and cilantro.
After another 1-2 months, try serving dishes prepared with the addition of celery, rosemary, tarragon or mint.
However, it is best to consult with your pediatrician to determine the optimal age to introduce each product.
And one more important point: you should introduce your baby to the "green stuff" that is familiar to your family. If you do not use any exotic herbs in the cooking process, then you should not accustom your child to them.
