Safety Notes
- Cut into appropriate sizes for younger toddlers (strips or small rounds)
- Always supervise during eating
- Remove any stringy parts from the banana
- Ensure banana isn't too soft/mushy for child's developmental stage
- Watch for large bites that might be difficult to manage
Chef's Tips
- Choose bananas with yellow peels and minimal brown spots for best texture
- Slightly green bananas are firmer and less sweet if preferred
- Score the peel to make it easier for toddlers to help with peeling
- Serve immediately after peeling to prevent oxidation
- Use overripe bananas for baking instead of fresh eating
