How to Cut
Goose fat is typically used as a cooking fat and not served alone. For babies starting solids, mix a small amount thoroughly into mashed vegetables, purees, or grains for flavor and fat. Avoid offering solidified chunks, which can be hard for babies to manage and offer little variety on their own.
Serving Instructions
Goose fat can be introduced around 6 months, primarily as a cooking fat or stirred into pureed vegetables, grains, or proteins. A small amount adds flavor and energy to meals. Serve as part of a balanced meal featuring vegetables, fruits, proteins, and iron-rich foods. Avoid serving it on its own or in large hardened pieces.
