The package says "Roasted, Seasoned Seaweed - Winter Harvest." It does have some salt, so we only give C a few sheets per day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gum-able-veggies#post-1069948 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 10:04:37 +0000 regberadaisy 1069948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anything really. In the beginning I would just leave some veggies behind and cook hers a little longer till they're very soft. Works especially well in stir frys.</p> <p>Her faves were def broccoli and peas! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gum-able-veggies#post-1069946 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 10:03:45 +0000 twobee 1069946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>+1 for steamed broccoli! I steam it a bit longer than I would to eat it myself, but our girls love it and it is super easy to grab. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gum-able-veggies#post-1069941 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 10:01:32 +0000 mrskc 1069941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>broccoli is easy to pick up. My son loves snow peas. And we've given him corn on the cob and he loves it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gum-able-veggies#post-1069932 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 09:59:14 +0000 immabeetoo 1069932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: yesss. part of the problem is I would happily never eat another vegetable in my life... i am a recovering super picky eater who just in the last year has tried lots of things for the first time. so, thanks for this list! some of them would've never occurred to me.</p> <p>@Giraffe: Yes, corn and peas I forgot about but we've been doing. Seaweed!! Interesting. Where did you buy it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gum-able-veggies#post-1069279 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 23:21:51 +0000 Giraffe 1069279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>and another vote for sautéed spinach or chard - C loves to pick up little clumps of greens! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gum-able-veggies#post-1069277 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 23:21:24 +0000 travelgirl1 1069277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Roasted beets are A's absolute favourite! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gum-able-veggies#post-1069273 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 23:19:19 +0000 Giraffe 1069273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Steamed green beans? Broccoli and cauliflower can be fun too, if they're pretty soft. If your LO has a good pincer grip, corn kernels are good (I know, not a real vegetable, but so delicious right now.)</p> <p>Our other new favorite is seaweed. C loves the texture and the crinkly sound, and it is apparently full of nutrients! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gum-able-veggies#post-1069271 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 23:17:45 +0000 yoursilverlining 1069271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh, and sauteed spinach is one of LO's favorites - especially with a little nutmeg on it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gum-able-veggies#post-1069269 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 23:16:35 +0000 yoursilverlining 1069269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anything that can be cut into a cube or "fingers" and either baked, roasted or sauteed will work!</p> <p>LO approves of:</p> <p>Zucchini<br /> Summer squash<br /> Carrot<br /> Eggplant<br /> Fennel<br /> Asparagus<br /> Mushrooms<br /> Onions (my LO loves sweet onions)<br /> Green Beans<br /> Parsnip<br /> Turnip<br /> Peas<br /> Apples (fried in butter or baked)</p> <p>Just cut into manageable sized pieces and saute or bake until soft enough to gum through. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gum-able-veggies#post-1069239 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 22:59:31 +0000 immabeetoo 1069239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is way into finger foods over mashes these days but I struggle with veggies for him since a lot of what we eat for veggies is raw spinach or raw carrots, peppers. </p> <p>Anyone have good ideas for finger food veggies that I'm not thinking of? we've done:</p> <p>sweet potato fries<br /> sauteed squash<br /> raw tomatoes<br /> avocados<br /> shredded cucumber </p>
