Staring down the long baby food aisle in the grocery story can be more than overwhelming for a new parent just venturing into solid foods. With more brands and varieties than breakfast cereal, how do you know which baby food is best for your little one?
It might not be the jarred food in the grocery store at all. Parents looking for greater control over the food that goes into their baby’s sensitive tummy can find it by looking no further than their own kitchen.
With a few kitchen staples and a stock of fresh and frozen fruits and veggies, homemade baby food can be made simply, and can also save money and the environment.
“Store-bought baby food has bland color and flavor – it is not very appealing,” says Cheryl Tallman, founder, product designer and cookbook author for Fresh Baby, a company that creates products and cookbooks to help parents create homemade baby food.
“Processed food is produced for the masses,” Tallman says, “So they make the most popular flavors and use the cheapest foods.”
