🌱 Why is it nourishing?
Sweet potato is rich in fibre and beta-carotene, a precursor of vitamin A, and its natural sweetness means no added sweetener is needed. Its soft texture is a gentle option for babies just starting solids. The fibre content may support digestion.
Maiyko's note
At Maiyko we believe in keeping things natural: instead of sugar, trust the food's own taste to sweeten. Introducing each new food one at a time, three days apart, helps you notice any sensitivities.
