1. Lentils
     Rich in protein, folate,  iron and fiber. Very healthy food. I boil them and blended with boiled sweet potatos. Organic available in Woolworth

2. Quinoa

Very high in protein. Rich in magnesium and iron. It is a source of calcium, dietary fiber and phosphorus. Easy to cook - simply add quinoa flakes to oat porridge  Organic quinoa flake available in Coles.

3. Chickpeas

A nutrient-dense food and excellent source of iron, folate, phosphorus, protein and dietary fiber. I made chickpea pumpkin soup and DS loves it! I soak the dry chickpea in hot water for 20min and changed to cold water and soak in fridge overnight. Boil for 2 hours next day and blend them with cooked pumpkin into paste/soup. Organic dry chickpeas available from organic stores. I bought 'four leaf' brand. We ate the rest of them and loved it too


4. Figs

Contains highest amount of calcium of any fruit. Contains different types of antioxidants. Good source of iron, magnesium, potassium, B vitamins. Should not consume too much though, because it contain oxalates, a chemical which can cause kidney and gall bladder stones when it becomes too concentrated in the body. Simply fed DS fresh figs when in season for afternoon tea. He loved it :-)
5. Purple carrots
On top of all the nutrition of normal carrots purple carrots contain antioxidants!

6. beetroot
A very nutritious veggie that tastes sweet:-)  One of DS's favorite dish is roast veggies

7. barley
A whole grain that can be a good replacement for rice.  This centuries-old grain is packed with fiber, contains important vitamins and minerals:-)
Hope your babies will love these nutritious foods as well!

About the canola's smoking point, when you cook with it, being mindful, there is a range of temperature, which is below its smoking point but suitable for you to add your ingredients in to saute them.

Thanks. I am a bit confused though.. It is said that concern for high level of saturated fat from coconnut was a misunderstanding because they are short hydrocarbon fatty acid, which is not harmful...

Anyway, I did not give it to my baby only because it is not so conventional... Call me "conservative"

I have been using avocado oil, which has relative high smoke point, for sauteing. Not sure if I should try something else as well? Extra virgin olive oil has low smoke and does not seem to be suitable for sauteing and roasting.

What oil do you use for cooking?

Many health organizations advise against the consumption of high amounts of coconut oil due to its high levels of saturated fat.

Maybe hold on... Coconut oil is trendy and a bit controversial. I'd use it only occasionally and stick to more common oil , like canola oil for most cookings.
To answer your question, some people use it like butter
