1. Chickpeas - A Nut from the Mediterranean
Chickpeas, also known as Garbanzo beans, are among the most nutrient-dense legumes, highly beneficial for both pregnant women and infants. Recently introduced to Vietnam, they have become popular among mothers looking to enrich their babies' weaning meals. Chickpeas are an excellent source of fiber, aiding in digestion and preventing constipation. They are also packed with iron, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, manganese, zinc, and Vitamin K, all essential for bone development and growth, supporting babies in achieving a healthier height. Chickpeas serve as both a vegetable and protein source, providing two crucial food groups in a single ingredient.
The iron, phosphate, calcium, magnesium, manganese, zinc, and Vitamin K in chickpeas are vital for maintaining bone structure and supporting bone health, ensuring strong and healthy bones for babies. Additionally, chickpeas can be easily incorporated into various dishes, allowing mothers to creatively prepare meals for their little ones. Like lentils or quinoa, it's recommended to soak chickpeas for about 8 hours or overnight before cooking to ensure they soften quickly and cook faster.
Some delicious and easy chickpea recipes:
- Chickpea Tofu: Soak chickpeas overnight and rinse thoroughly. Blend the chickpeas, strain the mixture, and simmer over low heat until it thickens. Pour into a mold and refrigerate for 1 hour until firm.
- Chickpea and Green Bean Milk: Soak chickpeas and green beans overnight, then rinse them. Boil for 30 minutes, blend with 200ml water, strain, and repeat the process. Simmer until thickened.
- Chickpea Pumpkin Porridge: Soak chickpeas overnight, boil for 20 minutes, then strain. Cook pumpkin for 15 minutes, then strain. Mix with cooked rice porridge, stir, and add cheese before serving.
- Chickpea Tofu Pudding: Soak chickpeas and oats separately, then blend with double the water. Strain and simmer the mixture until thickened. Pour into a mold and refrigerate. For the topping, cook palm sugar with ginger and pandan leaves. Serve by scooping the pudding and drizzling with palm sugar syrup.


2. Millet - Small Seed with Big Benefits
Millet is a highly nutritious food that's great for the body. Known as a small but power-packed grain, millet is an excellent food for the entire family. It provides a wide range of essential vitamins, including B1, B2, A, and E, along with protein and a wealth of minerals like calcium, phosphorus, manganese, iron, and copper—much more than many other foods. Additionally, millet helps clean the mouth and prevent oral health problems in babies. For babies who struggle with sleep, millet is rich in melatonin, which helps regulate sleep patterns and promotes deeper sleep. This tiny seed also supports the digestive system, making it easier for babies to digest food, preventing bloating, and helping them eat well, play happily, and sleep soundly.
However, a note for mothers: do not cook millet together with almonds as it may cause diarrhea. Millet is packed with essential nutrients that aid in a child's overall development and offers various other benefits. Besides being a great option for weaning, millet can also be used to make a bath for babies to treat rashes and skin irritation. Millet porridge is not only excellent for babies, but it's also helpful for people recovering from illness. Its cooling properties and easy digestibility make it a perfect food for recovery, providing necessary nutrients to speed up healing. Therefore, it's a good idea for every household to keep millet stocked in the pantry for regular use to boost family health.
Some ways to prepare millet:
- Millet Pumpkin Porridge: Rinse the millet and soak it for about 1 hour. Peel the pumpkin, remove the seeds, and chop it into small cubes. Steam the pumpkin until tender, then mash it (keeping the steaming water). Cook the millet until it expands, then add the mashed pumpkin and cook for an additional 15 minutes before turning off the heat. Serve the porridge to your baby.
- Millet Salmon Porridge: Soak the millet overnight (for about 8 hours), then remove the husks and cook it with rice to make porridge. Clean the salmon and optionally soak it in unsweetened milk to remove the fishy smell or wrap it with lime leaves for added flavor. After cleaning the salmon, remove the skin and bones, and cut it into small pieces. Season the fish with a little soy sauce and add it to the porridge. Cook for about 5 more minutes until the fish is cooked through. Season to taste for the baby, then garnish with fresh coriander. For babies under 8 months, blend the porridge and salmon to make it easier to eat.
- Millet Chicken Porridge: Wash the chicken and cook it in a pot until tender. Once cooked, shred the chicken into small pieces depending on your baby’s eating skills. Rinse the millet, sticky rice, and regular rice, and add them to the pot with the chicken broth. Cook until the grains expand, then add the shredded chicken and cook until everything is tender. Serve hot.
- Millet Lotus Seed Milk: Rinse and soak the millet and lotus seeds for 6 hours. Add them to a pot, cover with water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring it to a boil, then simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Add some rock sugar and cook for another 2-3 minutes before turning off the heat. Blend the mixture until smooth, then mix the blended seeds with the cooking water. Your baby will enjoy a delicious, nutritious millet and lotus seed milk.


3. Peas for Digestion Relief
Peas are a highly nutritious vegetable perfect for babies during weaning. Peas are packed with fiber, vitamin C, vitamin A, iron, and calcium. Despite their small size, peas pack a powerful nutritional punch. Did you know that just one cup of peas contains more protein than a tablespoon of peanut butter and provides an abundance of calcium, vitamin A, vitamin C, and iron? If you're looking to boost your child's bone health, peas are an ideal food choice. Not only are they rich in folic acid, but they also provide a generous amount of vitamin K1, a nutrient that activates proteins that help maintain calcium in the bones.
Regular consumption of peas helps alleviate constipation and the compounds in peas also have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which contribute to a healthy heart. In addition to fresh peas, there are now dried varieties available that have a longer shelf life, making them even more convenient for busy parents. Just remember to soak dried peas for 4-6 hours before cooking to ensure they cook through properly.
Ways to prepare peas for weaning babies:
- Sweet Corn and Pea Soup: Add sweet corn, carrots, and peas to a pot of broth and simmer for 20-25 minutes until the vegetables are soft. Blend the mixture until smooth and serve with a little bit of cooking oil. This dish is perfect for babies from 7 months and older.
- Lean Meat and Pea Porridge: Rinse the rice and cook it into porridge. When the rice starts to soften, add peas and meat. Once the porridge is nearly ready, remove the peas and meat, blend them together, and add back into the pot. Stir well and add some cooking oil to finish.
- Pig Brain and Pea Porridge: Rinse the rice and soak it for 30 minutes. Bring the rice and soaked peas to a boil. Then add pig brain, remove the blood vessels, and mash it with a little water before adding it to the porridge. Let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes. Season lightly with fish sauce and add herbs if desired. Serve with a bit of cooking oil.
- Beef and Pea Porridge with Egg Yolk: Grind the beef and blend it with raw peas in a blender (adjust texture based on the baby's age). Once the rice porridge is ready, stir in the beef and peas. Add the egg yolk after the meat and peas are fully incorporated, then let the mixture cook for another 3-5 minutes. Season to taste and finish by adding sesame oil or olive oil.


4. Job's Tears: Beneficial for Both Mothers and Babies
Job's tears are a type of grain from the rice family. In Vietnam, they are also known as pearl barley, Job's tears rice, or coix seed. This humble grain is packed with essential nutrients such as calcium, magnesium, manganese, iron, phosphorus, zinc, and vitamin B6, making it a great addition to your baby's diet. Not only is it beneficial for babies, but it is also recommended for new mothers as a lactogenic food. It can be used to prepare soups, porridge, and beverages that are both safe and effective for increasing milk supply.
For babies with digestive issues, Job's tears are a natural remedy that is both safe and beneficial. For postpartum mothers, adding Job's tears to rice can stimulate milk production while enriching the quality of breast milk. Furthermore, Job's tears have properties similar to calcium, promoting healthy bone development and preventing rickets in children. Its naturally sweet taste allows it to pair well with other ingredients, making it an excellent food for babies during weaning.
Ways to cook Job's tears for baby food:
- Job's Tears and Lotus Seed Porridge: Start by soaking lotus seeds with lemon water overnight, then dry and grind them into powder. Soak glutinous rice in hot water for 3 hours, then cook it until soft. Grind Job's tears into fine powder. Combine all ingredients in the pot with some water and simmer for 30 minutes. For babies over 1 year old, you can add honey to enhance the flavor.
- Job's Tears, Snakehead Fish, and Young Corn Porridge: Soak Job's tears for 4 hours and rinse thoroughly. Boil water and add Job's tears, cooking for 25 minutes. Add snakehead fish and cook for 10 minutes, then shred the fish. Grate young corn and add it to the pot, cooking for another 10 minutes. Stir the mixture for 10 minutes and serve.
- Red Bean and Job's Tears Porridge: Rinse the rice, Job's tears, and red beans and soak them for 1 hour. Wash the dates, soak them until soft, and remove the pits. Combine Job's tears, red beans, rice, and dates in a pot with water, bring to a boil, then simmer for 2 hours. Let it cool slightly before serving to your baby.


5. Walnuts Help Boost Your Baby's Intelligence
During the early stages of development, babies require a lot of energy as their bodies grow rapidly. Walnuts are packed with energy that can sustain them for long periods and are incredibly beneficial during this stage. The minerals found in walnuts, such as calcium and magnesium, are essential for bone development, while iron supports hemoglobin production. Potassium and sodium help maintain proper electrolyte balance, and phosphorus aids digestion, cell repair, and protein synthesis.
On top of the minerals, walnuts are rich in vitamins A, C, E, and K, which directly influence your baby's growth. These vitamins help build immunity, convert glucose into glycogen, and stimulate metabolic processes. Additionally, walnuts contain melatonin, a hormone that promotes sleep and regulates bodily functions during rest. Sleep is crucial for newborns as most growth occurs during deep sleep. Walnuts are also a great source of biotin, which helps keep your baby's hair shiny and smooth. However, it's important to only introduce walnuts to babies after 12 months, and make sure they are processed to avoid choking hazards and monitor for allergies.
Ways to Prepare Walnuts for Baby Food:
- Walnut and Oatmeal Porridge: First, grind walnuts and oats into fine powder. You can buy fresh walnuts, clean them, roast, and grind them separately. Use broth made from meat, fish, or vegetables to cook the mixture into a porridge for your baby.
- Walnut Pandan Milk: Clean and soak walnuts for about 4 hours, then drain and blend them with clean water. Strain the mixture to remove solids, then simmer with pandan leaves for a fragrant flavor. The milk should be consumed on the same day to maintain its freshness.
- Walnut, Brown Rice, and Tuna Porridge: Soak brown rice to soften it. Cook walnuts and brown rice together until tender. Blend the mixture with a tablespoon of olive oil until smooth. Cook tuna until done, shred it, and mix it into the porridge. For younger babies, blend the mixture further with rice.
- Walnut Oatmeal Cookies: Soak oats in water for 5 minutes until soft. Mix with flour, yeast, sugar, salt, and milk. Melt 60g of butter in a pan without boiling, then mix the butter with the other ingredients. Peel and slice two apples into thin strips, chop walnuts, and add them to the dough. Shape the mixture into small round cookies and fry them in butter until golden. Serve with a drizzle of honey and apple slices on top. This recipe is ideal for babies who are ready for solid foods.


6. Almonds Provide a Rich Source of Vitamin B2
Before the age of two, a baby's brain grows at an astonishing rate, which means they need a balanced intake of nutrients to support this rapid development. The nutrients found in almonds are essential for brain development. The presence of riboflavin (vitamin B2) and L-carnitine in almonds helps stimulate brain activity. The high fiber content of almonds can also prevent constipation and improve digestion by regulating bowel movements. Additionally, the calcium and phosphorus in almonds support strong bones and teeth as your child grows.
Not only that, the beneficial properties of almonds help prevent osteoporosis later in life. Naturally alkaline, almonds are rich in antioxidants that help detoxify the body, boosting your child's immune system. The presence of essential fatty acids provides excellent anti-inflammatory benefits, helping to safeguard your child's health as they grow. Almonds are a gentle food, but it’s important for parents to check for any family history of nut allergies, as this could affect your child. Always monitor your child for any signs of an allergic reaction when introducing almonds.
Ways to Prepare Almonds for Baby Food:
- Almond Milk: Soak almonds overnight. The next morning, peel off the skins and blend them with milk. Heat the mixture and add oatmeal until it boils. If you want to sweeten it, add sugar now, or use honey once it cools down. Honey should only be used for babies over 1 year old. Afterward, strain the milk to remove any solids if your baby is younger, though it’s best for babies to drink it whole.
- Apple Almond Puree: Slice apples and simmer them in water until soft, then add finely ground almonds and cook until the mixture is smooth and soft enough for your baby to eat.
- Lotus Seed and Almond Soup: Soak lotus seeds and almonds separately in warm water to soften them. Then, simmer them until they are fully tender. Sweeten the soup with some sugar for flavor.
- Almond Egg Soup for Babies: Soak almonds in cold water for about 30 minutes, then peel off the skins to get the white almond flesh. Blend the almonds with rice and water, and run the mixture through a soy milk maker. After 20 minutes, strain the mixture to get smooth almond rice milk. Pour this into a pot, add rock sugar, and simmer. Once it’s ready, separate an egg white, add it to the pot, and stir until the egg is fully cooked. Let the soup cool slightly before feeding it to your baby.


7. Macadamia Nuts Are Rich in Healthy Fats
If you're familiar with macadamia nuts, you would know that they are highly nutritious, especially beneficial for brain development in children. The nut’s kernel contains up to 78% oil, significantly more than other nuts like walnuts or almonds. Even more impressive, over 87% of the oil in macadamia nuts consists of unsaturated fats, many of which the human body cannot synthesize. Macadamia nuts contain 84% monounsaturated fats, % polyunsaturated fats, and 12.5% saturated fats. These nuts are free of cholesterol and rich in monounsaturated fats, which help maintain the balance between essential omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids. In summary, macadamia nuts contribute to the strengthening of brain cell membranes, making them an excellent food for boosting cognitive function in young children.
Macadamia nuts are also packed with vitamins such as pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) and folate (vitamin B9), along with minerals like potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, and calcium. These nutrients are essential for healthy bones, teeth, hair, skin, and nails. By eating macadamia nuts, children can support optimal bone and tooth development, maintain fluid balance, and enhance their immune system. Additionally, these nutrients contribute to a healthy nervous system and vibrant skin. Macadamia nuts are generally safe for most people, although some individuals may experience allergic reactions. Despite their health benefits, macadamia nuts should be used as a supplement, not a replacement for main meals, as they do not provide all the necessary nutrients found in regular foods. Doctors also recommend that children under 12 months old consume macadamia nuts in small quantities and be monitored for allergies.
Ways to Prepare Macadamia Nuts for Baby Food:
- Macadamia Porridge: After washing the rice, soak it in water for 30 minutes to soften. Then, blend the macadamia nuts, rice, and almonds with two more bowls of water. Boil the mixture until fully cooked and season it to suit your baby’s taste. You can also add shrimp, vegetables, or minced meat for variety. Let it cool before serving to your baby.
- Macadamia Milk: Combine 200g of macadamia nuts, 200g of soybeans, and 100g of almonds. After soaking the ingredients, blend them until smooth, strain the mixture, and bring it to a boil. Sweeten it with a little sugar to make it more palatable for children. This milk not only benefits brain health but is also known for its cooling effects. It can also help children who are picky eaters.
- Macadamia Beef Porridge: Roast rice and simmer it with potatoes and carrots. Clean and finely chop the beef, then sauté it with garlic and onions. Once cooked, add the beef to the porridge along with the mashed potatoes, carrots, and crushed macadamia nuts. Stir well and cook with a bit of annatto oil for extra flavor. Let it cool before serving.
- Macadamia Cookies: To make these cookies, prepare simple ingredients such as butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract, baking powder, eggs, flour, and ground macadamia nuts (adjust the grind based on your baby’s chewing ability). Preheat the oven to 160°C, line baking trays with parchment paper, and beat the butter, sugar, and vanilla until fluffy. Add the eggs, then mix in the dry ingredients and macadamia nuts. Shape the dough into cookies and bake for about 15 minutes. The cookies can be shaped in fun designs to encourage your baby to eat more. These tasty cookies are sure to become a favorite.


8. Lentils Offer Protein and Fiber
Lentils are a member of the legume family, rich in protein and fiber, making them perfect for a child's growth and development. Additionally, lentils are low in fat and contain essential micronutrients such as iron, phosphorus, potassium, and folate. They also provide a significant amount of insoluble fiber, which helps reduce the risk of constipation and supports a child's digestive system during the early stages of weaning. Incorporating lentils into a child's diet can help detoxify the body, improve health, and prevent digestive issues.
Furthermore, Lentils are one of the richest plant-based sources of protein. Among all legumes, lentils contain the highest protein content, with approximately 26% of their calories coming from protein. This makes them an excellent alternative to animal-based protein sources for young children. To make lentils more digestible, soak them for a few hours or overnight, drain, rinse, and cook until tender. Red lentils don’t need soaking as they cook quickly. Once your child is ready for solid foods, lentils can be added to soups and stews.
Some Lentil Recipes:
- Brown Rice and Lentil Porridge: Wash the rice, lentils, and lotus seeds, and let them drain. Clean the seaweed to remove salt. Add the seaweed to the pot to enhance the porridge’s flavor, making it slightly sweet and rich in minerals. Combine all ingredients in the pot, add water, and cook. Using a slow cooker or pressure cooker will speed up the process.
- Chicken and Red Lentil Porridge: Wash and chop celery and carrots. Soak the red lentils overnight. Clean the chicken and cut into small pieces. Heat oil in a pan, sauté the garlic for about 5 minutes until soft. Add the carrots, chicken, lentils, and water, and cook until the chicken and vegetables are tender. Blend the mixture into a smooth consistency, adding water to adjust the thickness. Reheat the porridge for 1-2 minutes, then add olive oil before serving to your baby. Your healthy, delicious red lentil porridge is now ready for your little one.
- Oatmeal and Red Lentil Porridge with Shrimp and Hemp Seeds: Soak the oats until they expand. Soak the lentils overnight. Clean the shrimp and season with onion powder, garlic, and chili. Sauté the shrimp in butter until cooked, then set aside. Cook the oats and lentils in water until tender, adding salt to taste. Once ready, serve the porridge with shrimp and top with hemp seeds for a nutritious meal.
- Lentil and Lotus Seed Milk: Soak the lentils and lotus seeds for about an hour. Cook both in a pot with water until soft. Once cooled, blend the mixture with palm sugar (omit sugar for babies). Strain the milk to remove any solids and serve to your baby.


9. Quinoa Seeds
Quinoa Seeds are a highly nutritious food for babies in the weaning stage and for all family members. The quinoa seed has a bitter outer coating that animals avoid, so farmers don't need to use pesticides. This means less worry for parents about chemicals. After harvesting, quinoa is processed to remove the bitter saponin layer, making it safe to eat. Quinoa can be cooked just like rice and is a versatile ingredient in many dishes.
There are about 12 types of quinoa, with the most common being white, black, and red quinoa. White quinoa tends to have a mild flavor and a softer texture, making it ideal for baby food or when cooked with rice. Quinoa is made up of 9% water, 70% carbohydrates, 15% protein, and 2.3% lipids (omega-3), along with fiber and important minerals such as manganese, iron, copper, zinc, phosphorus, vitamin B2 (riboflavin), and vitamin C. The carbohydrate content in quinoa is similar to grains, but quinoa stands out by containing all the essential amino acids, similar to milk. It's also rich in calcium, magnesium, and manganese, as well as B vitamins, vitamin E, and fiber, which are great for a baby’s delicate digestive system. Quinoa contains 9 essential amino acids needed for muscle cell growth and nutrient absorption. The protein in quinoa is essential for providing calcium to support strong bones.
How to Prepare Quinoa:
- Quinoa and Lotus Seed Milk: Soak quinoa for 2 hours. Soak fresh lotus seeds and remove the bitter core (soak dried lotus seeds for 2-3 hours). Rinse quinoa thoroughly to remove the bitterness. Cook quinoa in a pot for 20-30 minutes, then add lotus seeds and continue cooking. Blend and strain to make a smooth milk for your baby.
- Quinoa Baby Porridge: Rinse quinoa and soak it for 2-3 hours to soften. Mix it with rice and cook to make a nutritious porridge for your baby. You can adjust the ratio according to your baby’s taste. For older babies, quinoa can be mixed with regular rice for a more flavorful meal. Once cooked, you can add vegetables, meats (chicken, beef, pork), or eggs to boost nutrition.
- Fish and Broccoli Quinoa Porridge: Cook quinoa separately after soaking for 3 hours. Boil it for 15 minutes until soft. Steam the fish, remove the bones, and sauté in oil to reduce any fishy odor. Steam the broccoli and mash it. Combine quinoa, fish, and broccoli in a pot and cook together. Serve to your baby for a healthy, tasty meal.
- Quinoa Pilaf: Heat oil in a pan and sauté 1 cup of washed quinoa (200g) with a chopped onion. Add 1.5 cups of water, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until the quinoa is soft. You can mix it with any vegetables you like to make a delicious, nutritious quinoa pilaf.

11. Chia Seeds - Rich in Fiber
Chia Seeds are a highly nutritious food, particularly beneficial for children. The fiber in chia seeds helps to cleanse the intestines, eliminate toxins from the digestive system, and promote easier bowel movements, reducing the risk of constipation. Moreover, chia seeds contain high amounts of unsaturated fats, Omega-3, and other essential fatty acids, which contribute to over 60% of brain cell structure. These fats support the development of nerve cells, improve cognitive abilities, and enhance intelligence in children. Additionally, Omega-3 and Omega-6 are critical components of more than 95% of retinal cells.
Chia Seeds are also packed with protein and essential amino acids, offering a great source of energy for children throughout the day. For active children who love to play, consuming 50 grams of chia seeds daily is an excellent way to sustain their energy. Furthermore, due to their high fiber content, chia seeds provide vital nutrients that children typically lack from vegetables. Children often avoid green vegetables, leading to a fiber deficiency. With their tasteless and odorless properties, chia seeds can be easily incorporated into dishes children enjoy, ensuring they receive the nutrients lacking in their diet. It's important to note that chia seeds can create a feeling of fullness, so for those looking to lose weight, they should consume them before meals, while those aiming to gain weight or children in their growth phase should eat them after meals to avoid affecting their portion sizes.
Some creative ways to prepare chia seeds for your baby:
- Chia Seeds with Warm Water: The simplest method is to soak chia seeds in warm water for 3-5 minutes, stirring to form a gel-like consistency that can be given to your baby to drink.
- Chia Seeds with Fruit Juice or Yogurt: Add around 10g (1 teaspoon) of chia seeds to water or fruit juice (such as orange, lemon, or soy milk), stirring occasionally to prevent clumping. Let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the chia to expand, then serve. For yogurt, you can serve it immediately without waiting.
- Chia Seed Cookies: In addition to beverages, chia seeds make a great addition to baked goods. Blend chia seeds (or chia powder) with flour, eggs, and milk to create cookies. You can also sprinkle chia seeds on top of freshly baked cookies or mix them directly into the dough before baking.
- Chia Seed Oatmeal: Soak chia seeds in warm water to soften them, and then combine with oatmeal soaked in milk or heated with milk to soften faster. After straining the chia seeds, mix the gel with the oatmeal and serve to your baby.
