Mushrooms: How to Offer Mushrooms Safely to Babies

  • Portobello strips  - you can grill a portobello, I like to lather it in olive oil and then add balsamic vinegar, get it nice & soft and cut into strips and make sure it passes the squish test before offering to your baby.
  • The blend trend - finely chopped mushrooms combine half and half with your favorite ground meat like beef or bison or turkey or chicken. You can put this in burgers or tacos or anywhere else you would use ground meat, but filled halfway with mushrooms.
  • Sautee - particularly like enoki, beech and maitake & royal trumpet mushrooms - these are longer sizes babies can pick up. They have a handle for a stem and go great in some butter or olive oil.
  • Risotto - mushrooms go great in risotto, you can make with any short grain rice such as sushi rice (calrose rice) or the traditional way, with arborio. Also any gratin with a whole grain you can always add mushrooms too as well.
  • Omelets - egg cups or omelets with mushrooms work great for BLW. Eggs are a potentially allergenic food so you want to make sure baby has had egg a number of times without reaction before trying this.
