Making strawberry puree for babies at least eight months old is actually a very simple thing.

Generally speaking, fresh strawberries can be judged by the presence or absence of fuzz on the surface, while also ensuring that the strawberry surface is free of scratches, dents, and other defects. Because strawberries are known as the dirty twelve, which means that they contain extremely high levels of pesticide residues, choosing organic strawberries is the best choice.

After removing moisture, rinse the strawberries in cold water for three minutes.
