Also known as broken/cracked wheat or bulgur wheat, Daliya has often been in the news for its health benefits for kids and adults alike. Being made from whole wheat, it is a very nutritious option for your baby in his growing years. Not only it is easily digestible, but it also keeps the baby away from constipation and other gastric issues. The Indian culture, Daliya has always been one wholesome dish, full of nutrition and filling to the core. Daliya Khichdi is made with dals or lentils and vegetables, making it a complete food for all ages – you get carbs from the rice and proteins from the dal plus the benefits of vegetables. Though many babies may not like the coarse texture of the daliya khichdi, hence it may not be good as your baby’s first food.
