Amaranth & Beetroot
Amaranth is an ancient, gluten-free pseudo-cereal that is safe for babies starting around 6 months. Its tiny, porridge-like texture makes it an easy-to-digest early grain for developing digestive systems.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup amaranth
- 1 cup water
- 1 small beetroot peeled and cubed
Instructions
- 1

Meanwhile, rinse amaranth and cook in 1 cup of water over medium heat, simmering for 20 minutes until porridge-like.

Blend the cooked beetroot with a little water until smooth.

Stir beetroot puree into the cooked amaranth. Mix well and add water to adjust consistency. Serve warm. Note: beet may cause pink-tinted nappies which is normal.
