Brilio.net - Preparing complementary foods for breast milk (MPASI) for your little one is certainly an important moment for parents. In addition to introducing various flavors and textures of food, MPASI also aims to ensure that children get sufficient nutritional intake. Food served to children must be nutritious, easy to digest, and of course without additional ingredients such as MSG or artificial flavorings. Therefore, natural home cooking is highly recommended.
In preparing the MPASI menu, it is important to ensure that the ingredients used are fresh and of good quality. Vegetables, meat, fish, and grains are the main sources of nutrition that can be processed into delicious dishes for your little one. Of course, the food prepared must also be free from unnecessary additives such as MSG (micin) and excess salt, because the child's digestive system is still developing.
Here are 11 home cooking recipes without MSG that are suitable for MPASI, which BrilioFood has collected from various sources, Wednesday (11/9). With natural ingredients, these recipes are not only nutritious but also safe for your little one. Each recipe is designed to be easy to make and loved by children.
