How Sesame Seeds enhance

food for babies

Sesame seeds add depth and richness to baby-friendly meals in a natural way:

  • Their mild nuttiness pairs well with grains, veggies, and proteins.

  • Ground sesame (or tahini) makes purees creamier and more flavorful.

  • They introduce babies to global flavors, as sesame is widely used in Middle Eastern and Asian cuisine.

         Introducing Sesame Seeds Safely

  • Start with ground sesame seeds or tahini to make digestion easier for babies.

  • Introduce in small amounts mixed into purees or grains to enhance flavor.

  • Always check for potential allergies and consult with a pediatrician before introducing sesame, as it is a common allergen.
