66 crops ready now, 6 to introduce later
Always consult your pediatrician before introducing new foods, especially allergens. Premature? Use your baby's adjusted age.
= high choking risk. Safe prep on the crop page reduces this. High-risk foods in the "introduce later" section can still be served safely once your baby is ready with the right prep.
Orange badges = allergen. What to do if there's a reaction.

Acorn Squash
Roast until very soft. Scoop flesh and cut into thick spears. Naturally sweet and easy to gum. One of the best first foods.
Apple
Peel, core, and steam until very soft (10-15 minutes). Mash or puree. Do not offer raw apple under 12 months, it is a leading choking hazard even when grated.
Arugula
Steam or wilt until very soft, finely chop, and mix into other foods. The peppery flavor mellows when cooked. Mix into mashed potato or ricotta.
Asparagus
Roast or steam until very soft. Serve whole spear - the stalk makes a natural handle. Tip should be completely tender.
Avocado
Halve, remove pit, scoop the flesh. Mash with a fork until smooth, no cooking needed. Mix with a splash of breast milk or formula to thin. One of the safest and most nutritious first foods.
Banana
Peel and mash with a fork until completely smooth. For self-feeding, offer a half-banana with the peel left on the bottom half as a natural handle, it's grippy and baby can gnaw the exposed end.
Basil
Add finely minced fresh basil to soft foods, pasta, or eggs as a flavor exposure. Not a standalone food - a seasoning.
Beets
Roast whole until fork-tender, then peel and cut into thick spears. Naturally sweet. Warning: will stain everything - bib recommended.
