Hi Hetal,
In one of your posts you have mentioned that we can Soy products like Soy Kheema,Soy Curd ,Soy Beans,Soy Butter.Do i get all of these at any American Store or do we have to make them,for example Soy Kheema and Soy Curd.I know that we get Tofu in all stores ,and what is tempeh?Can we give these to 7-8 Months old Baby?
I have one more doubt,my baby has not started teething yet,can i still give him FINGER FOODS?Are Finger foods just for babies who are teething?Kindly Advise.As we are Vegetarians and dont eat Egg too,i am looking for Foods that have plenty of protein and Vitamins.Thankyou. Hetal replied. Soy to start only after your baby completes 8months.
tempeh is made by natural cultures but controld fermentatn.
since tempeh' s fermentation process n its retention ofthe whole bean gives it a higher content of protein,dietary fibr,vitamins compared to tofu..also iit has much more bold flavour sometimees it has nutty flavour as well and has firm texture.tempeh is whole soyban product. while tofu is bean curd...hope it clears.
tempeh you will get in speciality market or whole foods type of stores while tofu you will get in mostly all stores of US..about soykheema n chunks you will get the dried ones in indian stores.
just add to your baby diet,replace paneer with tofu or tempeh, add in mashed to your baby soups, shakes or khichadi,or offerjust sauted or baked with vegies ,,is a great finger food too !
