Quinoa (pronounced Keen-Wah) is a super nutritious, gluten free grain that makes a great addition to any baby food puree. Typically introducing to your baby between the age of 6-9 months, this grain is packed with fiber, iron, calcium and folate. As a great source of protein, quinoa can also be a option for the vegetarian baby.
