Safety Information
How to Serve Green Banana Flour to a 6–9 Months Old
Serving Instructions
For babies just starting solids, green banana flour is best used as an ingredient mixed into soft, spoon-fed foods for added fiber and prebiotics. Typical serving is 1/2–1 teaspoon (2–5 g), always thoroughly blended into porridge, pureed fruits, vegetables, or other smooth foods. Avoid offering dry flour. Serve as part of a meal that also includes a source of healthy fat (like a drizzle of olive oil or mashed avocado) and protein (such as lentil puree, yogurt, or soft egg). Watch for fullness cues and allow baby to self-regulate their intake.

Increase serving to up to 1 tablespoon (7–10 g) if well tolerated, always mixing green banana flour into moist foods such as yogurt, porridge, sauces, or mashed vegetables. Offer as part of a meal that includes protein (cheese, fish, beans), healthy fats (olive oil, nut butters), and a variety of vegetables/fruits. This flour can help support gut health and regular digestion. Continue to watch for fullness cues and introduce alongside new flavors and textures.

How to Serve Green Banana Flour to a 18+ Months Old
Serving Instructions
Green banana flour can be used more liberally—up to 2 tablespoons (15–20 g) per meal—mixed into family recipes like pancakes, muffins, smoothies, or stirred into casseroles, oatmeal, and yogurt. As always, avoid serving flour dry or unmixed. Use as part of a meal with a balance of protein (meat, dairy, lentils), healthy fats, and fruits/veggies to encourage a broad palate and support growth and gut health.

When to Talk to Your Pediatrician
Every child is different, and your pediatrician knows your baby best. If your baby has known allergies, was born prematurely, or has any feeding difficulties, consult your doctor before introducing new foods. If you ever observe signs of an allergic reaction — such as hives, swelling, vomiting, or difficulty breathing — seek emergency medical care immediately.
Important Safety Disclaimer
Every child develops chewing and swallowing skills at their own pace. The preparation methods shown are general guidelines; you must always evaluate your individual child's ability before serving. By offering this food, you agree to the following:
- Choking & Preparation: All foods can pose a choking hazard. You are strictly responsible for modifying food sizes and textures to match your child's skills. Always physically inspect this food for hidden hazards (e.g., bones, pits, seeds, splinters, or tough skins) before serving.
- Food Handling: Ensure all ingredients are properly washed, stored, and cooked to safe internal temperatures to prevent foodborne illness. Never serve raw or undercooked meat, poultry, seafood, or eggs to an infant.
- Allergens: Introduce any new food one at a time. Observe your child closely for signs of an allergic reaction (hives, swelling, vomiting, or difficulty breathing) and seek emergency medical care immediately if symptoms occur.
- Strict Supervision: 100% active, arm's-length adult supervision is required at all times while your child is eating or interacting with food.
