Steam is the best way to keep the nutrients. Our taste bud is different from babies. Babies taste buds are more sensitive. If baby does not like the carrots the first time. It is okay. Sometimes it takes a couple of tries before baby or even kids will take to the taste. If your baby does not take it well the first time it does not mean that baby doesn't like the taste. Don't give up, keep encouraging baby to try new food. In fact, carrots are sweet.
