Weaning Poops. Is this normal? Warning TMI and picture

Hello.
My little one (6 months old) has been weaning the last few weeks and her BMS have changed dramatically each day. I've spoken with the HV about them being a little runny and she was cool with that.
However today her poop (which took two nappies ) has worried me, again, s it's dramatically different. It's much darker almost green and has tiny black spots in it (unpictured is a bit of sweet potato too!). I don't know what this could be. My only thinking is banana again. When she has normal banana it comes out as black strings. But this was in a banana and peach purée so maybe the fibres are shorter?

She ate blooming everything under the sun yesterday and stole my wrap out of my hand at one point (it was chicken), and a tiny tiny bit of Pesto ranch which she adored. So I cant pin down what's the cause. Unless it's serious!

The black spots are so teeny you do have to look closer. Sorry.

It's fine.

HV said to me any poo that's vibrant is normal. Any colour is fine except pale, red or dark black. It looks like banana tbh.

DS had broccoli recently and he only had a spoon or two and his nappy was insanely green by just a small amount.

As long as LO seems well in themselves, Please don't worry 🙂
