Adding Spices and Herbs to Baby Food

All Posts, by Date » Learn » Adding Spices and Herbs to Baby Food

Baby food doesn’t have to be bland, liven up your babies’ food and expand their palates by experimenting with a range of spices and herbs. Increasing babies’ taste buds in this way helps to cultivate adventurous and healthy little foodies. 

Herbs and spices provide our foods with a multitude of flavours, fragrances, and colours. However, many parents worry about adding flavour this way to their babies’ food, believing that spices are hot and not suitable for little ones’ taste buds.

There is a big difference, however, between hot spices and aromatic ones. Aromatic spices, along with a range of different herbs, are perfect for adding to baby food. 

This guide explains when to start adding spices and herbs, the benefits of adding them and gives some ideas on how to start introducing them to your baby.  

When to Introduce Herbs and Spices to Babies

I always encourage parents who are just starting weaning their babies, either by purees or baby-led, to experiment with herbs and spices from the beginning. As salt and sugar should be avoided before one, adding a little spice and/or herbs is a great way to add flavour to baby food. 

Breastfed babies are often introduced to a variety of spices even before starting solids. Breast milk can change its flavour, depending on a mum’s diet. If Mum enjoys spicy and flavoursome food, then her baby will be exposed to this through her milk, helping create and develop a taste for flavoured foods. 

Benefits of Introducing Spices and Herbs at an Early Age
  • As salt should be limited in baby food, spices and herbs are a good way to flavour food
  • Allows babies to get used to a range of flavours at a time when they are willing to experiment with taste.  
  • Teaches babies to expect change with food.
  • Helps babies transition to family food, as your baby will be familiar with those tastes and more likely to accept them.
  • Provide certain health benefits. Read more here!

Ideas to Get You Started

Begin with herbs and aromatic spices like cinnamon, turmeric, nutmeg, cardamom, cumin, coriander, clove, smoked paprika, mint, basil, dill and rosemary.

This is just a few ways to get you started spicing up your baby’s food…

CINNAMON  – Cinnamon has warm, sweet and spicy notes and adds delicious flavour to sweet and savoury meals. Try adding it to apple puree, banana, sweet potato puree, fruit compote & yoghurt, muffins, porridge and stews. 

SMOKED PAPRIKA – One of our favourites! Smoked paprika has a sweet rich smokey taste.  Try adding to sweet potato, carrots, chicken, fish, lentils, paella, chilli and eggs.

CARDAMOMGreen cardamom (our preferred choice) has a floral, minty, peppery taste and works well in both sweet and savoury dishes. Try adding it to pear puree, carrot puree, chicken, porridge, muffins, banana bread,  

TURMERIC – Turmeric has a mild fragrance and warm slightly bitter notesTry adding to lentils, eggs, porridge, cauliflower puree, curries and stews. 

CUMIN – Cumin has a nutty, peppery, earthy flavour that pairs well with meats and vegetables. Try adding it to carrot puree, cauliflower puree, lamb, chicken, stews, curry and chilli. 

NUTMEG –  Nutmeg has a warming sweet and peppery flavour. It is lovely in sweet baking but also with creamy savoury dishes. Try adding it to muffins, stewed fruit, bechamel sauce and pasta bakes. 

MINTMint is aromatic and fresh with a sweet cooling flavour. Great for adding to both sweet and savour purees, combines well with many vegetables such as new potatoes, tomatoes, carrots and peas and adds fresh flavour to fruits.

OREGANOOregano is very aromatic with slight earthy, green bitter notes, it is very popular in Mediterranean cooking. Try adding it to veggie purees, roasted vegetables, eggs,  pasta sauces, or pizza. 

ROSEMARYRosemary has a piney aroma and a distinctive sharp flavour. It is very strong and you only need a little. It gives a lovely flavour to purees, savoury dishes and even sweet baked goods. I love how it has been used in this roasted banana and rosemary puree. 

BASIL – Basil has a light herbal bouquet that complements a wide variety of foods. Try it in baby purees, or puree it on its own for a fragrant, healthy sauce perfect for you and baby. It’s one of the primary ingredients in pesto – so why not try our Homemade Basil Pesto recipe for a delicious finger food dip for your little one

Tips for Using Spices and Herbs
  • Take Care of Your Spices – Store spices in airtight containers away from light and heat. Whole spices will keep for around 1-2 years but after around six months, ground spices will start to lose their aroma and flavour. So buy in small amounts and use often! 
  • Dried herbs should also be stored in airtight containers in a cool, dark, and dry space. 
  • Spice Blends – Always read the packaging when using spice blends (as they often have added sugar and salt), try making your own blends. 
  • Start with small amounts – Use small amounts to start with to allow your baby to get used to different flavours. You don’t want to overpower the food. Start out by adding just a pinch.
  • Prepare fresh leafy herbs properly –  Wash fresh herbs and then puree or finely mince before adding to baby food. 
  • Don’t give up – if your baby rejects the flavour of the spices/herbs just remember that it can take up to 10-20 exposures for a new flavour to be accepted.

Herbs and Spices for Baby Food

One easy way to get your baby to eat a variety of foods from early on is to add spices and herbs! So say no to bland baby foods and start experimenting with the many ways you can use your spice pantry to add flavor and variety!

By doing so, it's going to help develop and expand your baby’s flavor preferences and to make the transition to family foods that much easier! 

When to Introduce Herbs and Spices to Baby

Short answer - from the beginning.

Myth: You must start with bland rice cereals or other foods.

Fact: This recommendation is not based on research. Did you know that babies have more tastebuds than us? They want flavor just like us!

According to research that studied how babies respond to different concentrations of garlic in their mother’s breastmilk, it was found that babies stayed attached to the breast for longer periods of time and sucked more with higher amounts! Fascinating, right?

So remember, when someone tells you that your baby can’t handle flavored foods, they’ve already been introduced to them in the womb through the amniotic fluid and breastmilk.

This is why what mothers eat during pregnancy will not only nourish their babies in the womb but may shape food preferences later in life. 
To go from flavorful breastmilk to bland baby food is a step in the wrong direction.

So don’t be afraid to liven up your baby’s food with herbs and spices from the beginning. Fresh or dried, they're such a great, simple way to add flavor without the use of sugar and salt, which you should stay away from.

Is your baby 6 months old and up?

Benefits

  • Increases acceptance of a wider variety of foods during this critical window of opportunity when they’re most willing to try new foods. In other words, it may help minimize picky eating as they grow.
  • Makes the transition to family foods easier, which means simpler and more enjoyable mealtimes. Continuous exposure leads to familiarity which leads to acceptance
  • Health benefits - herbs and spices are full of antioxidants, have anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties, and much more!

Tips for adding herbs and spices

  • Keep it simple at first. Start with 1 seasoning added in small amounts to not overpower the food.  
  • Fresh herbs: wash and mince or finely chop before adding to foods.
  • Dried herbs: start building your spice pantry if you don’t already have one. Once you have a well-stocked assortment of flavorings, the world truly is your oyster! You’ll be able to whip up flavorful dishes in no time. 
    • storage: keep them in a cool, dry place away from light. This is because moisture, heat, and direct light can diminish the flavor of the spices.
    • shelf life: they don’t technically expire but will start to lose flavor over time. In general, when stored properly, they can last for a year. Do check for discoloration and lack of scent. 
  • Some spices and most blends have added salt so be sure to read the ingredients.
  • There’s no need to avoid spicy seasonings. But do stick with the mild to moderate spice levels and again, start small. Of course, if your baby shows any kind of reaction or intolerance, you should avoid. 
  • Just because you don’t care for certain flavors, don’t assume your baby won’t either. Perhaps in trying to expand your baby’s palate, yours may as well!
  •  Have fun together trying out different flavor combinations!
  • Expect your baby to make faces. This doesn’t mean they don’t like it. Rather they’re becoming accustomed to the taste. So keep offering! 
  • Keep experimenting! You’ll soon develop your flavor intuition and know just how to “season to taste” or adjust a dish that doesn’t sing to you.

Spices and baby food. What spices can be given to children.

Although spicy and spicy foods are not recommended for preschoolers, spices are sometimes used in children's food. Some manufacturers of baby food add individual spices even to food for children under one year old (mild white pepper, basil, barberry). An absolute ban remains only on hot spices: black and red pepper and mustard are not used in baby food. Other spices can even have a positive effect - they excite the appetite, diversify the taste. A very small amount of this or that seasoning should be added to food.

Some spices that are recommended to add to dishes for children are listed below

Basil, an annual aromatic plant with the smell of lemon, cloves, mint, pepper, gives a wonderful aroma to meat or vegetable dishes. Basil is a great addition to pasta (various spaghetti and pasta sauces are made from it).

Everyone knows “barberry” lollipops, named after one of their constituents - barberry - red berries of the barberry bush, sour in taste. Barberry is used for cooking jam and jam, for pickling fruits, vegetables and meat, served with fried meat, poultry, and game.

Widely used in baby food is such a pleasant and beloved by children spice as vanilla - the unripe fruit of one of the orchid species. Vanilla is used in the confectionery industry, and also serves as an excellent addition to the curd mass, pancake dough, and dairy products. Vanillin is added to fermented milk drinks, puddings, ice cream and sweets.

When preparing confectionery, biscuits, as well as compote or a drink for children, you can use cloves, an aromatic spice from unblown flowers of a tropical clove tree. It is especially recommended to add cloves to various gingerbread.

Ginger is well known from early childhood for the smell of gingerbread and gingerbread. Soft drinks are also prepared with ginger - for example, ginger lemonade has a peculiar taste.

Cinnamon is well-deservedly popular. Children also eat dishes with cinnamon willingly. Cinnamon is added to confectionery products (biscuit with cinnamon), it also goes well with apples.

Turmeric (or turmeric) will add a beautiful yellow color and a peculiar, not too spicy taste to the dish. It is used as a seasoning for meat, rice, vegetables, and diluted with water in a small amount will give a bright color to mashed potatoes, pasta or cottage cheese (this can be used to decorate dishes). Bay leaf can also be used in baby food. It has a pleasant smell, improves the taste of soups, broths, second courses, marinades.

Citric acid is also widely used in cooking - a white crystalline powder prepared from lemon juice. However, for baby food, commercially prepared citric acid is not very desirable, and, if possible, it is better to replace it with fresh lemon juice.

Olives are the mature fruit of the olive tree. They are pickled and used as a side dish or to decorate sandwiches and salads. The specific taste of olives is usually not liked by children. Olives are very high in calories and have many beneficial properties. It is better not to give spicy olives to children, but not very spicy olives can sometimes be offered in a salad or with a dish of meat or vegetables.

Tropical nutmegs have a pungent taste. Nutmeg is used as a spice in the preparation of meat, fish, rice and other dishes.

Mint, an aromatic plant, grows in our gardens and orchards. Children are happy to eat mint gingerbread, sweets. Mint has a pleasant smell and refreshing taste. It is brewed as a tea, used for colds

. Cumin, a biennial herbaceous plant with a special aroma, can also be used in baby food in small quantities. It can be added to dishes as a seasoning or when baking in cookies, bread.

Dill and parsley are widely used to season dishes to enrich them with vitamins. These seasonings are highly desirable in baby food both raw and dried.

a wider range of ingredients than those found in ready-made baby food.

Most conventional brands of ready-to-eat baby foods do not include herbs and spices that will enrich your baby's taste. That's why it's so easy to take advantage of the versatility of homemade baby food and use spices and herbs to spice up and add color to baby's food. This is a wonderful way to help expand your baby's taste buds and introduce them to family nutrition.

In many countries, the first food for babies is not rice porridge, but rather spices, and then everything else. In India, for example, children can safely add a little curry to complementary foods at a very early age. Thai families often use coconut milk, lemongrass, tamarind and even chili when feeding their children. Hispanic babies taste wonderful herbs and spices like cumin, cilantro and even chili!

Contents:

Most pediatricians will recommend waiting until an infant is 8 months old or older to introduce spices and herbs into their diet. This recommendation serves to prevent digestive disorders than is associated with possible allergic reactions.

If the child tolerates food well and does not experience any digestive disorders, then you can try to go straight to the spices! As with any new food, the 5-7 day wait rule should be followed when introducing spices and herbs. Also, as always, discuss the introduction and use of herbs and spices with your child's pediatrician.

It should not be forgotten that if a child is breastfed, then he has already tried herbs and spices, as they are passed through breast milk, helping to create and develop the taste of the child.

What types of spices and herbs can be added to baby food?

Often when we think of adding spices to our meals, we think of sugar, salt and pepper. Why do we rarely think about adding herbs and spices?

Fresh or dried herbs and spices that are used for family meals can be added to baby's complementary foods. Using spices and herbs in your baby's diet is a great way to offer them interesting flavors without the use of sugar or salt. Here are some herbs and spices to try:

It should be borne in mind that if one or another spice or herb is not used in the family, then you should not introduce it so early into the baby’s diet, just for a change in diet, you can introduce it later, and at this stage introduce fruits familiar to the whole family , vegetables, meat or dairy products. We choose high quality spices and herbs. And finally, spices and herbs are quite a small amount in a dish, remember the simple rule, less is better than more. You should not greatly enrich the dish with a new taste, just light notes of sweetness or spice are enough. The child has a completely different perception of taste.

A few examples where spices and herbs can be used

You can try using spice mixtures in everyday products such as:

Fruit:

Apple (mashed) vanilla, ginger

Pears : use of ginger, cinnamon, vanilla or even mint

Bananas : use of cinnamon, ginger, allspice, vanilla

      This seasoning mix should be used to flavor chicken, turkey, duck. Can also be used with any poultry stuffing. If there is no access to fresh herbs, you can replace 1 teaspoon of dried herbs with 1 tablespoon of fresh herbs.

      Sweet spice blend

      The blend is perfect for making apples and pumpkin pies and as a topping for eggnog.
