Peas For Your Baby
Peas are a vegetable that babies tend to like because of its sweetness. It is a good one always to have on hand when you run out of fresh vegetables, because it stores well in the freezer. The taste of frozen peas is very comparable to fresh peas and there is very little nutrient loss in the freezing process, so don't feel bad if you don't have time to shell peas (who does?). Keep in mind that peas are a choking risk until 3 years old or until your child has the chompers to handle them, so mash them well.
