When can babies eat Hemp Seeds (Hemp Hearts)?

1. 6mo

   From 6 months: Soft, tiny seeds that dissolve easily.

   Introduce by stirring 1/2 to 1 teaspoon into smooth purees like avocado, sweet potato, or yogurt. Because they are soft and do not expand like chia seeds, they can be mixed directly into food without pre-soaking. They add a mild, nutty flavor that is usually well-accepted by infants.

2. 9mo

   From 9 months: Soft, slightly grainy texture.

   Use as a nutritional 'sprinkle' on finger foods. Roll slippery fruit slices (like banana or peach) in hemp seeds to make them easier for your baby to pick up. You can also mix them into warm oatmeal or use them to top a spread on toast.

3. 12mo

   From 12 months: Soft, nutty seeds.

   Toddlers can consume 1-2 tablespoons daily. Add them to smoothies, mix into pancake batter, or sprinkle over pasta dishes. They are an excellent way to add high-quality protein and zinc to a toddler's diet, especially during 'picky eater' phases where they may refuse meat.
