Introducing liver to babies doesn’t have to mean serving chunks of liver on a plate. This silky smooth pate is one of our favourite ways to introduce one of nature’s most nutrient-dense foods in a way that’s gentle, delicious and easy for little ones to enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chicken liver is one of the richest natural sources of highly bioavailable iron, vitamin A, vitamin B12 and folate\u2014nutrients that are especially important during the first year of life, when babies’ iron stores begin to decline and their nutritional needs rapidly increase. Paired with naturally sweet apple and onion, this pate has a mild, balanced flavour that adults can enjoy too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spread it onto toast, stir it through mashed vegetables, or offer it on preloaded spoons as one of your baby’s first iron-rich foods. A little goes a long way, making this recipe an easy addition to your baby’s meal rotation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
