Has anyone given this to their babies? And if so at what age?
I've been thinking of trying Zoe on some, but I wasn't sure if I should wait until she is 9mths. ------------- Michelle http://lilypie.com">

Its a grain - quite often used as a replacement for rice, but you can also buy it in other forms as well,
Apparently can be introduced at 8 - 10 months found some info http://www.wholesomebabyfood.com/quinoababyfoodrecipes.htm - here ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

Thanks hailstones, that info was great. I don't know why I didn't think to google.
LillyandElla: As Hailstones said, its a grain and very yummy. Quinoa is great for iron. I say go for it too kels. I'm introducing new textures for zoe. She loves couscous and rice, I thought she would love Quinoa. I ate tons when I was preggie, so I'm sure she'll love it too. Thanks everyone ------------- Michelle http://lilypie.com">
