Fruit and vegetable puree

In general, traditionally all fruit and vegetable puree, which are intended for baby food, can be divided into two large groups. The former include puree made in industrial conditions, while the latter are homemade dishes.

It is noteworthy that at the present time, which is characterized by difficult environmental conditions, many specialists in the field of dietetics strongly recommend in the children's menu to use special food in cans, which is only tested and produced by reliable manufacturers. They argue their position by the fact that sometimes fruits and vegetables bought on the market are not always environmentally friendly. In addition, at home, it is quite difficult to make fruit and vegetable puree of the necessary consistency.

Be that as it may, each option has its own pros and cons. For example, if you prefer jar fruit and vegetable puree or those stored in Tetra Pak packages, always meticulously study the information on the label. It is necessary to monitor the manufacturing date and shelf life of the finished product (and the latter should not be too long). In addition, by following information in the media, interested in forums on the Internet, as well as consulting with specialists, you will thus be able to determine your manufacturer.

Nevertheless, fruit and vegetable puree prepared by caring moms on their own is also equally tasty and useful if the necessary raw materials are collected on their own household plot. It is clear that in the growing process you are unlikely to use harmful substances that are often used by many unscrupulous producers in order to increase yields.

It is worth noting that fruit and vegetable puree for babies is distinguished by high taste qualities. Most often, a combination of juicy fruits such as apples and pears with fragrant vegetables: carrots and pumpkin is used to prepare them. Zucchini is also great for combining with fruit crops - it is quite easily absorbed and absorbs the taste and aroma of richer fruits.

It is clear that after sweet fruit puree, such treats are often difficult to introduce into the child's diet, so you need to introduce the baby to fruit and vegetable puree unobtrusively and gradually. Although they differ in a less sweet taste, such puree contains a lot of necessary fiber and vitamins, which are lacking in products on a purely fruit basis.
