A member asked:
Is it true that pediatricians do not recommend parents to make beet, carrot or spinach pure at home because they are higher in nitrates?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Any foods you eat yourself are generally fine for infants over 6 months of age, pureed if needed for texture issues.
