About the benefits of peas for a child

Consider yourself lucky if the baby pea soup was to your liking, because pea is very useful. Its use is in the high content of vegetable protein, which will successfully replace animal protein, however, for full conversion into protein, it still needs the support of grain or meat. Nevertheless, pea dishes are indispensable for children with low weight - peas are very nutritious.

But not only protein is valuable peas. It also contains a lot of useful substances and vitamins, as well as fiber. It is insoluble fiber that causes flatulence and gastrointestinal problems.

They can be avoided by thorough grinding to a puree state (the puree is more homogeneous and tender, the body is easier to cope with coarse fiber). Which we did.

Peas go well not only with cereals and meat, but also with vegetables, such as potatoes, tomatoes, carrots and herbs. By the way, if your child does not eat carrots, then peas will perfectly mask the taste of carrots, so the baby will eat and will not notice.

Pamper your beloved child is not only pleasant on the tongue, but also a healthy dish, full of important elements and vitamins - this is the desire of every caring mother. Legumes and dishes prepared from them, in addition to the obvious benefits, are also very nutritious, because they must be present in the diet of the child.

Pea soup is one of the most eye-catching dishes in a category that has been familiar to everyone since childhood. But in order to introduce such a soup into his menu without harm to the baby, it is necessary to know at what age, in what volume to give and how to cook it properly, to make it delicious and instill in the child a love for beans.

Peas are full of vitamins, protein and other elements that contribute to the growth and strengthening of the body. It activates the development of all systems, protects against harmful bacteria.

At what age can pea soup be given to children?

Parents often worry about exactly when to give their child pea soup. Many claim that after the first feeding has been carried out and the baby is ready to eat new dishes, you can immediately switch to a “serious” diet. However, this opinion is implausible, and here it is important to catch the moment when the child has become old enough for such food.

Despite all the benefits of legumes, doctors do not recommend introducing pea soup into the diet before 1.5 years. This is due to the fact that the elements contained in peas create unpleasant gases in the stomach and can provoke colic painful for the baby. The only exception is green peas, which is useful to give the baby in moderation.

At the age of 1.5 - 2 years, the child can be safely and fully fed pea soup, without worrying about the possible negative consequences. At this age, the body is ready to perceive new adult food, process it and get the valuable elements that it contains.

Menu entry rules

Pea soup, like any other complementary foods, must be introduced gradually into the baby’s diet. At first, it is enough to confine yourself to a couple of small spoons together with other nutrition, gradually this dose needs to be increased, and over time the crumbs will be able to satisfy hunger with one soup.

Baby Pea Soup Recipes

Bean dishes, including pea soup, can be varied. The diet of a small child should contain all the necessary vitamins, because such a pea soup for children should be prepared according to a special recipe.

To prepare such a soup, you should follow a few simple rules, and then it will turn out not only useful, but also tasty, which is very important when introducing a new dish in the baby’s menu.

1. Vegetable broth.  It is recommended to prepare soup for the child on vegetable broth - the beneficial substances contained in vegetables will make pea soup as useful as possible and will have a beneficial effect on the growth and development of the child.
2. Meat broth.  If desired, pea soup can also be prepared on meat broth - for this you need to boil meat with a small amount of fat, drain the first water and use the broth as a base.
3. Peas.  A few hours before cooking, peas must be soaked in water - so it is better cooked, and the soup will be more pleasant for the baby to eat.
4. Consistency.  The child’s first pea soup should resemble mashed potatoes - the stomach will quickly get used to the new dish and take all the necessary substances.

It's important to know:  To prepare pea soup for a child under the age of 3, you need to use fresh or frozen green peas. Dry pea soup is suitable for a child from the age of three years.

To create an exceptionally delicious children's pea soup, you will need:

• one glass of fresh or frozen green peas;
• two medium potatoes;
• 100 g. Lean beef or chicken meat, provided that the child is not allergic. For allergy sufferers this product is excluded;
• one medium carrot;
• a small pinch of salt.

The method of cooking pea soup:

1. If you use dried peas, it must first be soaked in water - this will save the child from the appearance of gas and colic. Fresh peas must be washed, frozen - thaw at room temperature and rinse.
2. Set the meat and peas to cook for 1.5-2 hours - this will make the soup more thick, rich and pleasant for the perception of the children's stomach.
3. Add finely chopped carrots, potatoes and onions, add salt to taste and cook until soft.
4. Cool the soup and treat the baby with a new dish!

What can not be added to the soup

Products that adults regularly eat are harmful to the child's body, because there is a certain list of products that are not allowed to be added to children's pea soup:

• smoked meats;
• meat with high fat content;
• seasonings and cubes of artificial broth.

If pea soup is an integral part of the menu of the whole family, then for a small child it is necessary to cook the soup separately or dilute it with vegetable broth in a proportion of one to one.

It is important to understand that even with the proper preparation of the soup and tolerance of all the ingredients, there is no guarantee that the child will immediately fall in love with pea soup. Therefore, you need to feed your baby with such a soup on an empty stomach - then you can avoid the vagaries, failures and negative perceptions. You also do not need to add pea soup to the menu as a new dish in periods when the child is capricious or dissatisfied - a negative attitude towards the soup and a complete refusal to use it may develop.

The recipe for pea soup came to us from ancient times. It was cooked by the Greeks and Romans. And they knew a lot about the beneficial properties of boiled peas for the human body.

It normalizes the work of the stomach and intestines. Contains a significant amount of vitamins and minerals.

A large amount of vitamin B has a beneficial effect on the functioning of the nervous system.

It would seem that such a wonderful food should suit any person, regardless of age. But, unfortunately, this dish is not suitable for young children.. And all because of the imperfection of their digestive system, which is still being formed and may not be able to cope with legumes.

The result may be bloating, abdominal pain, flatulence. So at what age can pea soup be given to children? How to cook it correctly enter in the menu? Can I add extra ingredients to the soup? All of this will be discussed later.

It is known that peas, like all plants from the legume family, contain a significant amount of fiber, carbohydrates and various oils.

Green peas of milk maturity are suitable for children. They will definitely like them.

During cooking peas, some valuable carbohydrates and oils are destroyed, so the nutritional value of such a dish is reduced.

A significant amount of fiber remains in the cooked dish, which has a significant effect on digestion, causing not only a “musical” effect, but also concomitant bloating and gas formation.

For easier digestibility by the child's body of pea soup, it is better to make mashed potatoes from it.  Naturally, there will be less vitamins in it, but the fragile children's intestines will be easier to cope with.

When to enter the menu

Among pediatricians there is no consensus when a child can pea soup. But we can definitely say that it should not be categorically offered to children under 1 year old, because instead of benefit, it can cause irreparable harm to the digestive system of a one-year-old baby that has not yet been strengthened.

Although many mothers introduce it into their diet as early as 8-9 or 10 months, but it is too early.

By the age of two, the baby’s menu is already quite diverse, except for dairy products, meat, fish, various fruits and vegetables are already present.

An increasing number of enzymes are produced to digest food that can cope with new products. From 2 or 3 years old, you can already offer your child such a soup.

How to cook such a soup for a child

The usual recipes for making pea soup are unlikely to be suitable for a very young child.

It is necessary to observe the following rules, which will make it possible to prepare a tasty and healthy soup for the baby:

• pea soup is best cooked in vegetable broth. Meat broths contain a lot of protein, which is poorly digested with fiber from peas. Such a soup will be harder to digest.
• but if you still want to cook a hearty soup on meat broth, take lean meat: beef or chicken. After boiling, it is better to drain and cook the meat in new water. Also, the broth to reduce fat content can be diluted with water.
• for baby soup, young fresh peas or frozen peas are suitable. A dish of dried peas should be prepared only in the absence of other types.
• before preparing the soup, it is better to leave the peas in cold water for several hours, and preferably at night,
• for the first time, it is better to offer your child pea soup cooked only from peas, without additional ingredients.

How to give it

It’s better to start offering baby pea soup with one or two teaspoons.

Each time increasing the amount of food by one teaspoon.

Gradually bring the volume of pea soup to a whole portion corresponding to the age of the child.

It’s better to offer soup in the form of mashed soup, in this form it is better absorbed.

On the day when the baby's menu has pea soup, you should not give him juices, cheese, sausages and nuts, which also cause gas formation. When choosing foods for a child’s menu, one must also remember that pea dishes can cause constipation.

Invalid Ingredients

Many products that housewives traditionally add to pea soup should not be eaten by small children. This primarily applies to the following ingredients:

• smoked meats, especially smoked ribs. These meat products are very fatty and contain a lot of salt. In addition, they will not bring any benefit to the body, which is scientifically proven.
• lard and fatty meats. These products will only complicate the digestion process, and there is nothing for the child to have excess fat.
• ready-made stock cubes can also not be used to make baby soup. Not only do they contain a large amount of salt, there are many other harmful substances.
• ready-made store broths may contain a significant amount of preservatives and spices, which can irritate the walls of the stomach and intestines, leading subsequently to various diseases.
• a large amount of salt is able to retain fluid in the body, cause swelling. Just a few grains for children's dishes.
