Summer is right here, and so is the June Produce List + Recipes.
Hey there everyone. It’s getting scorching hot these days on my side of the world. How about your side? Summertime is almost here. And as per our monthly ritual, I am sharing the list of June Produce And Recipes. The best part is it has some of my and my little one’s favorite fruits.
Today is a special day. Easy Baby Meals is turning 4 years old. Time flies, isn’t it? It was as if just a few months back I started this little blog, sharing my cooking adventures with my little one.
I would like to THANK all of my readers for the eternal love and support. Without you all, I won’t be sitting here and writing this post. My heartfelt Gratitude to you all.
Getting back to the post, I have also included the list of seasonal produce that you can introduce to your little ones during that month.
Let’s go through the June Produce List first.
With June 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 details of When To Give.
6 Months +
Apricots, Peas, Potatoes, and Zucchini.
These delicious fruits and vegetables are in season, and they can make a great starter food for your little bubs. They are easy to digest and are packed with essential nutrients. Creating a simple puree and mixing it with baby cereal can make a delicious meal for your little one.
8 Months +
Cantaloupe, Corn, Cucumber, Figs, Garlic, Green Beans, Herbs, Honeydew Melon, Peach, Plums and Summer Squash.
I introduced my daughter to all of the above-mentioned fruits and vegetables at eight months of age.
She enjoyed having cantaloupe puree and cucumber yogurt puree for her meal.
I started adding herbs like garlic, dill, and mint to her savory puree to give them flavor and aroma. This made it more appetizing for her.
10 Months +
Blackberries, Blueberries, Cherries, Leeks, Onions, and Strawberries.
I introduced berries at ten months. Since they are quite acidic, at times babies might end up getting a diaper rash. So to be on a safer side, I waited till she was ten months.
For cherries, I only gave her the pulp in purees. For that, I took out the pit and added flesh to her food. Cherries with pit are a choking hazard. So Never Give Cherries With Pit to your little ones at this early age.
1 Year +
Tomatoes
I introduced raw tomatoes to my daughter after her one year birthday. When she as actually able to chew the little tomato pieces.
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.
