He eats what? episode 1: Beets!

Thomas really likes beets. Be careful as they can stain. We introduced these at 8 months.

Beet puree:

1 fresh beet

Cut top of beet about 1/2 inch from the beet itself. Wash, put in pot with enough water to cover the beet. Boil, covered, for about 45 mins or until soft. Cut up roughly or grate into blender; blend, adding water from pot, until smooth.

These are pretty sweet (about as much as sweet potato, or a little more), so they are pretty easy for babies to accept, I think. But they will make your baby's next poop reddish. Don't worry!
