It is easy to prepare with less ingredients and without much steps. Homemade nuts powder is always fresher than store-bought ones, and you know exactly what’s in it.

About Nuts Powder for Babies

Nuts powder for babies is made from roasted cashews, almonds and sometimes a little pistachio. The dry fruits are lightly roasted and ground into a coarse powder so that they release natural oils but do not turn into a paste. This recipe makes it easy to mix into baby food without the risk of choking.

Cardamom adds mild aroma and flavor to this recipe. It is safe for children in small quantities and smells good. If you want plain taste you can leave it out, but I like to add a little to it for taste. It smells great and keeping it in a clean jar keeps it fresh for a long time in the fridge. It’s nice to have healthy homemade options ready for your little one at any time.

Making nuts powder at home also ensures that it does not contain any added sugar, salt or preservatives, which is always better for kids. The texture can be adjusted depending on age – a little coarse for older babies and great for younger ones. It gives natural energy and helps keep children full for longer hours.

I usually make this powder in small batches during weekends. I roast the nuts slowly and grind them just enough to make a coarse powder.

Please remember that mother’s diet is the best and it is always good to start other diets only after the baby completes 6 months. These baby food recipes will help those who are not able to breastfeed due to personal/medical conditions. Always consult your pediatrician before starting any new food.

Ingredients of Dry Fruit Powder for Babies

• Cashew – I used whole cashews, they give a mild sweetness, nutty flavor and add creaminess when mixed with porridge and helps in healthy weight gain. You can leave out if necessary but I like them in powder.
• Almond – I have experimented with the skin, it adds fiber and nutty flavor. You can remove the peel if you prefer a softer powder.
• pistachio – I just want something for richness and taste. If not available you can skip.
• Cardamom – I add 2-3 peeled cardamoms while grinding, it gives mild aroma and taste. If you want plain nuts powder you can skip it.

How to Make Nuts Powder Step by Step

1.Measure and get ready with your ingredients. Dry roast the dry fruits together until light brown spots appear here and there. Please calm down.

2. Put the nuts in a clean dry mixer, peel the peels of cardamom, add them and grind them coarsely. Do not grind too much, the nuts will release oil and become pasty.

Expert Tips

• roasting nuts – I fry the dry fruits slowly until light brown spots appear. This adds flavor and makes grinding easier.
• cool before grinding – I always let the nuts cool completely before grinding, otherwise they release oil and become a paste.
• coarse grinding – I ground them just a little for a coarser texture. This makes it easy to mix into baby food.
• dry mixer – Dry the mixer grinder completely and grind it. Even a little moisture can spoil the powder.
• optional – I keep the skin on for the fiber and nutrients. I have also sometimes used shelled nuts.
