Who doesn\u2019t love a new baby-led weaning finger food idea? Boom! Here it is! These quinoa veggie and cheese bites are so good, so easy, and so cheesy! Ok, maybe that was \u201ccheesy\u201d, but seriously, they are really good\u2026 I love quinoa because it is such an amazing and nutritious ingredient for weaning babies and toddlers. Quinoa is a terrific source of protein and it contains all the essential amino acids as well as iron, magnesium, and so many vitamins too!<\/p>\n\n\n

Creating a Finger Food for Baby Led Weaning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Quinoa is really easy to digest, so it\u2019s great for little tummies just starting baby-led weaning. It can however be super messy since the grains are so tiny, but turning this superfood into a baby-led weaning finger food makes eating it so much easier for your baby! There are plenty of other foods your little one can practice with a spoon\u2026 Trust me when I tell you, cleaning up after a little one who just ate a bowl of loose quinoa is not so fun.<\/p>\n\n\n

Preparing Quinoa<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It is really important to rinse quinoa well before using, this helps to get rid of the starch and keeps your quinoa light and fluffy. Occasionally your quinoa packaging may say \u201cpre-rinsed\u201d, I still recommend giving it a thorough rinse at home using a large sieve over the sink.<\/p>\n\n\n
