Is cinnamon good for babies?

Yes! Believe it or not, cinnamon offers a handful of health benefits for everyone, including babies! Once your baby is 6-9 months old, cinnamon can be used in recipes– like our apple pear butter– to enhance immune health, encourage cognitive functions, and promote digestive health. Cinnamon has even been shown to help relieve mild pains in babies! Add a little dose of cinnamon to your fruit recipes for a healthy boost every time– your homemade pear baby food will thank you!

Which apples do babies like best?

The best apples for baby food are going to be your extra-sweet varieties. Galas and Fuji apples make for great bases for meals– like this apple pear butter recipe– because they’re packed full of nutrients and aren’t tinged with the bitterness sometimes found in a Red Delicious or the tartness of a Granny Smith, which can be overbearing for baby’s developing palate. The sweeter, the better!

Does steaming fruit remove nutrients?

Fruits that are lightly steamed in the One Step Baby Food Maker will still retain many of their nutrient-rich qualities. This apple and pear puree recipe for baby is loaded with vitamins and minerals that encourage the healthiest development possible, and parents will discover the range of apple pear butter uses will make this an easy addition to any meal, from bread to oats and more. We encourage parents to avoid boiling their fruits and veggies, as the long exposure to heat will inevitably cook out many of the healthy nutrients found in your produce.
