Curd Quinoa for Babies combines two of the healthiest ingredients – quinoa and curd. This nutritious recipe is gluten-free, fiber-rich and easy to digest.
Among the various foods touted to be super foods for health, one food you’re sure to have come across is quinoa. Quinoa is considered a grain, although it’s actually a seed, making it a pseudo-cereal. However, the classification doesn’t matter – it’s super healthy and nutritious, and that’s what counts!
Quinoa is also a great food for babies over 8 months of age. It is gluten- free, easy to digest and rich in nutrients and fiber. It makes a healthy addition to your baby’s diet in the form of porridge or as today’s recipe, curd quinoa. Curd quinoa is a simple and delicious recipe that’ll keep your baby full for a good while.
