Instructions
Preparation
Wash the avocado thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or contaminants from the skin.
Ensure the avocado is ripe. A ripe avocado should yield slightly to gentle pressure when squeezed.
Cut the avocado in half lengthwise, twist to open, and remove the pit.
Cooking Steps
Using a spoon, scoop out the flesh of the avocado into a clean bowl.
Mash the avocado with a fork until smooth or semi-smooth, depending on your infant's age and ability to handle textures.
Serve fresh and at room temperature as a standalone dish. You can also mix it with other pureed fruits like banana or cooked rice for added variety.
