As we all know, chicken is very nutritious. Chicken is rich in taurine, which can enhance people's digestive ability and play the role of antioxidation and detoxification. It plays a good role in improving heart and brain function and promoting children's intellectual development. Especially in black-bone chicken, turkey and other varieties, the content of taurine is higher, which has stronger nourishing effect than ordinary chicken.
In fact, not only preschool children can eat chicken, chicken is also one of the baby's complementary food ingredients. Chicken contains a lot of high-quality protein, and the fat contained in chicken is mostly unsaturated fat, which is necessary for the development of baby's brain and nervous system. In addition, chicken also contains a lot of trace elements such as iron and zinc, and the content of vitamins is also very rich. Therefore, chicken is very suitable as a complementary food for babies.
Tip 1: After the baby is 8 months old, the egg yolk and rice flour have been added for some time. You can try adding chicken to the baby. When you first add it to your baby, you should follow the principle of a small amount. Try to chop the chicken into minced meat, make it soft and add less, which will be more acceptable to your baby.
It is recommended to choose chicken breast when you first add it to your baby. This part of chicken is tender and suitable for babies with weak chewing ability. The chicken in the drumstick is tight. If you want to give it to your baby, you should cook it carefully and stew it for a long time before giving it to your baby.
Different parts of chicken have different nutrition.
Different parts of chicken have different nutritional components. Chicken breast is low in fat and contains a lot of vitamins, such as vitamin B and nicotinic acid, which can lower cholesterol to some extent. Chicken wings contain more fat, and chicken liver cholesterol is very high, which is basically close to pig liver.
The fat and calorie content of chicken breast meat is indeed lower than that of chicken leg meat, and the fat content of skinless chicken leg meat is also lower than that of other meats. In addition, chicken leg meat contains a lot of iron and tastes more delicious, so it is loved by many families.
So, is the baby suitable for eating chicken offal?
Chicken Tip 2: Chicken gizzards are low in fat and rich in iron, but they have a film, which is hard and hard to chew. You should take them out before giving them to babies. I suggest chopping them into chicken gizzard soup.
Chicken hearts contain more protein and iron, which can be chopped into jiaozi or steamed stuffed buns for babies.
Chicken liver is soft and contains a lot of organic iron, which is easy to be absorbed and utilized. The baby is prone to physiological anemia after 6 months. Chicken liver is one of the sources of iron supplementation.
Chicken is nutritious, but don't eat it often. /kloc-For babies around 0/year old, twice a week is enough. Eat chicken once and chicken liver once. At first, you can eat two chestnuts at a time, and then eat a walnut about the size.
In addition, the baby should eat less of the following parts of these chickens.
Goose skin: Although it is delicious, it is not good for your health. Generally speaking, chicken skin is rich in fat, cholesterol and pollutants. Especially roast chicken, the cholesterol in chicken skin is oxidized to form cholesterol oxidation products after roasting, which is harmful to human body. If the temperature is not properly controlled, it may also produce carcinogens.
Chicken neck: There is less meat in this part, but blood vessels and lymph glands are concentrated. Children should eat as little as possible. Remove the skin when eating, because some detoxification glands such as lymph are concentrated in the subcutaneous fat of the neck, and these glands contain toxins in animals and hormones in feed. In addition, be careful not to eat the trachea inside the chicken neck skeleton by mistake, because the trachea needs gas exchange and bacteria are easy to exist.
Chicken tip: also known as "chicken *" and "chicken hip tip", it refers to the part with long tail feathers at the upper end of chicken *, and the meat is fat and tender. This part is where lymph glands are concentrated, because macrophages in lymph glands can devour germs and viruses, even carcinogens, but they can't decompose, so toxins will precipitate on the buttocks. Over time, the chicken tip has become a big warehouse for storing viruses and germs.
The baby is very particular about drinking chicken soup.
Mothers generally have the idea that the nutrition in chicken soup is a pot of soup, and babies should be allowed to drink more chicken soup. In fact, this is a misunderstanding, and the nutritional value of chicken soup is not high. In fact, chicken in chicken soup is easier to digest and absorb than soup.
The nutrition of chicken soup is very limited. The nutrients contained in chicken soup are a small amount of water-soluble small molecules such as protein, fat and inorganic salts dissolved from chicken oil, chicken skin, chicken meat and chicken bones. Even after a long simmering process, chicken soup contains only some water-soluble small molecules besides oil and heat. Protein in the soup is only about 7% of that of chicken, so it has no nutrition objectively.
Another situation is that many mothers will remove the chicken skin before cooking chicken soup, thinking that the soup cooked in this way will not be too fat and is more suitable for babies. In fact, this practice is not good.
Tip 3: Mothers may wish to give their babies some chicken soup and chicken. The meat is soft, and the baby is easy to bite and digest. At the same time, it is nutritious, does not cause waste, and kills two birds with one stone.
At the same time, mothers should not peel the chicken before cooking the chicken soup, but peel it after cooking it. There is a film between the chicken skin and the chicken to keep the moisture of the meat and prevent the fat from overflowing.
Therefore, if necessary, the chicken should be peeled after cooking, which can not only reduce the fat intake, but also ensure the delicious chicken.
