August Seasonal Produce List along with recipe suggestions.

Hey everyone. Raise your hand if your feel that June and July were just here 5 minutes back. If you feel the same way, then I am with you. And now we are already in the mid-month. 

The month of August is here, and it is a special one for me. This month my little one started Kindergarten. I never realized it would be a tough one for me as a MOM. Letting go that little finger into a vast world was difficult.

But on a flip side, my daughter was looking forward to the Big School. So there were no tears both from Mom and Daughter. She made me proud.

Getting back to today’s post, I am sharing with you all the August Produce List, along with When To Introduce those particular fruits and vegetables to your little ones. Followed by recipe ideas too.

(If you are new here, Welcome. Thank you so much for stopping by. Every month I post Seasonal Produce List along with a guide on When To Give particular fruits and vegetables to your babies. You can have a peek at earlier months here )

Now let’s go through the August Produce List.

With August Produce List in hand, let’s see what we can give to our little ones at each month. Introducing new food to little ones is a challenge, so always consult your pediatrician.

The above-given chart is based on what I gave my daughter after consulting her Pediatrician. Every individual child is different, so what worked for me may not work for you.

It’s always better to talk to your pediatrician before introducing new foods, especially if your child suffers from allergies.

Keeping this in mind, let’s go through the details of When To Give:

6 Months +

Apple, Mint, Peas, and Pear.

These delicious fruits and vegetables are in season, and they can make a great starter food for your little ones. They are easy to digest and are full of essential nutrients.

Making a simple puree and mixing it with baby cereal can make a delicious meal for your little one. Adding herbs and spices like cinnamon or mint can give these purees a boost of extra flavor and aroma.

8 Months +

Cantaloupe, Chives, Cucumber, Thyme, Oregano, Rosemary, Peach, Plums, Summer Squash, Watermelon, and Zucchini.

Cantaloupe, Cucumber, and Watermelon are few of the best No Cook options for your babies. Just make a puree, and they turn into a delicious summer meal.

Herbs like Chives, Thyme, Oregano, and Rosemary make a great addition to your baby food making list. A little bit of these herbs go a long way in giving the purees an enticing aroma and flavor. Nobody likes bland food.

Summer Squash and zucchini, when paired with herbs, turn into a wholesome meal.

10 Months +

Onions, Carrots, Mandarines and Sage

Onions and carrots make a nutritious addition to your baby’s diet. A little addition of sage to any soup or puree can take that meal to the next level.

Mandarines make excellent finger food. Just make sure they are cut into baby-friendly pieces.

One year +

Cabbage, Mushrooms, Tomatoes, Corn, Grapes, and Grapefruit.

I introduced raw tomatoes to my after her one year birthday. When she as actually able to chew the little tomato pieces.

For rest of the vegetables too, I waited till her one year birthday before introducing them to her daily diet.

Every individual child is different, so what worked for me may not work for you.

It’s always better to talk to your pediatrician before introducing new foods, especially if your child suffers from allergies.
