🌱 Why is it nourishing?
Plums contain natural sorbitol, which supports your baby's digestion and helps prevent constipation. Apple is a great source of fibre (pectin), promoting the healthy development of your baby's gut flora. The natural vitamin C found in both fruits boosts iron absorption, supporting cognitive development. Their mild, naturally sweet flavour helps build positive taste habits — no added sugar needed to encourage healthy eating. The smooth, soft texture makes this purée ideal for babies + months who are still developing their swallowing skills.
