Granadilla
Usually introduced around 6 months
Choking notes
The soft pulp is easy to swallow, but granadilla holds many small crunchy seeds. For early eaters you can press the pulp through a fine sieve to hold back the seeds, then offer the seeds mixed in once your baby is chewing and moving food well.
How to serve by age
6-9 months
Halve the granadilla and scoop out the soft pulp. For the youngest eaters, press it through a fine sieve to strain out the small seeds, then serve the smooth pulp on its own or stirred into yogurt, oatmeal, or other purées.
Smooth strained pulp, served on a spoon or mixed into a soft food.
9-12 months
Scoop the pulp straight from the shell. As your baby gets used to texture, the small seeds can stay in, mixed into yogurt, mashed banana, or porridge so they are easy to manage.
Soft pulp with seeds, mixed into a carrier food the baby can spoon or scoop.
12-18 months
Offer the pulp and seeds as a topping for yogurt, oatmeal, or fruit, or let your toddler scoop it straight from the halved shell with a small spoon.
