Order nowDuck might not be a common staple food in your home, but did you know its quite high in iron – more so than other poultry like chicken and turkey. It is a great first food for babies, and this recipe can be introduced when you start solids. Duck meat is also a great source of vitamins B12, B6 and zinc which all work synergistically to help with iron absorption, support immune function and healthy growth and development.
Because this meat is braised, its a perfect texture for BLW. But you can also puree it with the braising juices if you are spoon-feeding your baby.
