Ideas for crunchy food for 10mo

[CookAMH]

DS is very interested in food and likes to eat but doesn't so much like wet or moist foods (for picking up). He seems to be interested in things like pieces of cooked broccoli, piece of meatball (though limiting meat until later for the most part). Today I let him try a veggie chip and he seemed to really like biting it, putting in his mouth, and eating it, more than he has other things. I think it helped that it softened in his mouth and went down easily.

I am wondering if there are any TF options similar to those veggie chips, they are air puffed somehow or something? They are like a flat crispy disk but not dense like a potato chip. It's mainly for his curiosity and to practice eating but I am aware of cereal type foods being a terrible way to have grains.

Any suggestions?

yeah crackers arent much of a "food", same goes with chips and ime its a slippery slope feeding young children snacks that have no nutritive value. pretty soon they crave the empty refined carbs.

my almost 1.5 yo daughter loves celery, not for eating per sey, but for crunching, also baby carrotsticks, she never chokes on em, she just bites off teeny pieces and spits em out. its so cute. her fav though is an almost bare cooked chicken bone or t-bone from a leftover steak. shes like a little cave baby, knawing away.
