I have it clear. Best the purees. Or as soon as the baby can eat, very soft natural foods but without crushing. Porridge and purees should be a brief phase in the baby's feeding. Then, respecting the indications on guidelines for the introduction of new foods, the child is included in the normal diet.
A porridge of vegetables and meat will only carry what we put, being able to personally choose the best materials and not adding anything that is not exactly what we want to put. This mash does not contain preservatives, dyes, it is not packaged but it is freshly made, with all its vitamins and minerals. And it has neither sugar nor salt nor starches that make it fat. Pure health.
The difference is like eating a homemade fabada or a can. The can can be rich and be an emergency option, but none of us would feed on cans every day. Babies don't have to do it either. The price, buying at the peso, is between 50 cents and the euro, depending on where we buy and that we use fresh seasonal vegetables. If instead of doing it for the child we all eat it, we will make better use of our time and the heat of cooking. We can also do for several days and freeze. A 250 gram pot costs approximately 1 euro. It not only carries vegetables and meat or fish. In its composition there are usually starches that make its texture more homogeneous.
Let's give an example. A plate of mashed vegetables and meat, about 250 grams, can come out for about 50 cents, including a piece of potato, a third of carrot, a green bean and a little leek plus about 25 grams of first meat Quality, chicken or fish. We can exchange these vegetables for zucchini, sweet potatoes, turnips, chard…. any of them. A dash of extra virgin oil. No salt or sugar. Nothing more.
He saving is not hugebut in terms of quality It is much older. Healthy eating is based on fresh and unprocessed products, which contain better nutrient quality. For me, there is no clearer comparison than this.
