Cilantro
Cilantro is thought of as a more adult-minded herb, but it actually fits in well in baby dishes too. Research about cilantro shows it may help remove heavy metals from the body, plus it helps stimulate healthy digestion, relieves gas and may even ward off Salmonella bacteria. Cilantro can be added to any number of baby purees but goes especially well with foods such as chicken, fish, melon or avocado. Oh, one more thing, for best results, cilantro should be cooked only lightly - so add it near the end of puree making.
