🌱 Why is it nourishing?
With its beta-carotene (a vitamin A precursor) and fibre, sweet potato can be a gentle addition to your baby's introduction to solids. Apple, with its natural sweetness and fibre, brings the purée to a soft texture your little one may enjoy. Prepared with nothing added, this purée is suitable for single-ingredient tasting from 6 months.
