Fine to serve

Suitable at this age with the usual preparation described below.

Serving Instructions

At this stage, hazelnut flour can be offered in very small quantities (a pinch, up to 1–2 grams/⅛ tsp) mixed into a variety of foods to gently introduce the allergen. Try blending into soft cereals, mashed fruits, or yogurt for nutritional enrichment. Always watch closely for potential allergic reactions. Serve as part of a well-rounded meal that provides iron (like fortified cereals or pureed meats), vitamin C (mashed berries or citrus), and healthy fats (avocado or chia). Avoid serving hazelnut flour alone.
