Are all types of legumes already suitable for children from 12 months of age?
Under no circumstances - legumes are a very rich source of antinutritional substances and insoluble fiber. The proportion of legumes in the diet of children under 1 year of age should be absolutely minimal. Between the ages of 1-3, if used, it is advisable to prefer peeled forms and cook them thoroughly. It's worthwhile to avoid classic types of beans; be cautious with soybeans as well.
