Serve with home-made cheese canes or spread on crusty bread or other savoury biscuits. It's also good with vegetable crudities such as carrot and cucumber sticks. This Christmas hummous can also be put into clean jars and tied with ribbon to be given as a lovely home-made gift alongside our cheese canes recipe.
Hummous of any kind is always very garlicky when it is first made. If your little ones find this taste too strong, try leaving the tub in the fridge over night, and try it again the next day. The taste will have mellowed considerably. Just a thin spreading of this goes a long way, so it's worth dividing it up into portions and freezing. It will last in the fridge for up to 3 days, then in the freezer for a month.

Step 2
This makes a very smooth hummous, if you would prefer a little more texture blitz the chestnuts at the same time as everything else, leaving some chestnut pieces through the hummous. This will give your little ones an interesting texture to explore, however they may prefer a smoother, slightly thinner paste.

They have a spiny outer husk and a dark brown shell within, the white, fleshy edible part. These are also healthy, delicious, slightly sweet, and crunchy. They can be eaten raw, roasted, dried, ground into flour, jam, or baked into pastries, cookies, and bread. There are four main chestnuts, the Chinese chestnut, Japanese chestnut, European chestnut, and the American chestnut. The main species sold nowadays across the world is the European chestnut, Castanea sativa.

Can Babies Eat Chestnuts?
Chestnuts are healthy, but they are hard to digest. Most doctors opine that it is better to wait till your baby is two or older to introduce him/her to chestnuts. This is because chestnuts can sometimes cause severe allergic reactions in some babies.
Health Benefits
Chestnuts are good for brain development as they are rich in omega 3 fatty acids. Antioxidants and minerals like magnesium and potassium reduce cardiovascular disease risk, promote heart health, reduce cholesterol, boost immunity, and lower cancer risk.
Chestnuts have fiber, which improves digestion, makes bowel movement regular, and supports healthy gut bacteria’s growth.
It is also gluten-free, which makes it a safe option for babies with celiac disease.
Chestnuts have a low glycemic index of 54 and rich potassium content, which prevents blood sugar spikes and helps regulate blood sugar levels. B vitamins in chestnuts promote healthy skin, red blood cell production, and brain function.
Carbohydrates in the nuts provide energy and copper helps prevent anemia, irregular heart rhythms, and boosts immunity. Manganese prevents blood clotting, and magnesium increases bone mineral density.
Vitamin C content boosts immunity, prevents damage to cells from free radicals, and promotes gum health.
Ways to Prepare Chestnuts for Babies
Choose unblemished, whole chestnuts that are smooth and shiny. When giving it to your baby, crush it and feed it as whole chestnuts can cause choking hazards. Before oven or pan roasting or boiling chestnuts, score the outer part deeply with a knife to prevent them from exploding while cooking.
You can crush and sprinkle chestnuts over dishes to add a unique nutty flavor.
Alternatively, you can either steam, grill or deep-fry them.
You can puree shelled, peeled chestnuts in a blender and add it to crepes or pancakes.
Recipes
- Boil chestnuts for 2 to 3 minutes in a pot of boiling water. Remove them from the water, place them flat side down on a baking tray, and roast them in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes. You can serve them as a snack after crushing them lightly or use them in salads.
- Roasted chestnuts can be powdered and added to plain hummus, and fed to your baby. Alternatively, you can add the powder to stewed apple puree or any other fruit puree.
- You can dry the nets and ground them into flour and then use it in cakes, pastries, cookies, and bread.
Precautions
- Generally, raw chestnuts are safe to eat but contain tannic acid, which can cause stomach irritation, nausea, and liver damage. Tannic acid gives it a slightly bitter taste. Roast them for better taste.
- If your child already has a nut allergy, avoid them.
- They may cause a mild to severe allergic reaction, like eczema, rashes, and breathing difficulty. It could also be fatal. Consult your doctor before introducing chestnuts into your baby’s diet.
- Crush it before feeding, as it can be a choking hazard.
- Roasted chestnuts have high sugar content, so if diabetic, better to avoid them.
