For those tht make baby food

I want to make my own pur?es for lo. He won't be ready for them until this winter but I want to take advantage of all the fresh foods this fall if possible. Has anyone bought fruits/veg and frozen them before making pur?es? If so, did it change the consistency? Any tips? 

 

Thanks!!

Re: For those tht make baby food

  • I would use frozen peas and green beans too - steam, puree, and re-freeze them.  But I think fresh is better.  Anything I could buy fresh, I would.  I loved making my own baby food.  Looking forward to doing it again with my next baby :)

  • I did make some because I was waffling on doing BLW or not.  I made them when the produce was ripe and fresh, then froze them in 1oz cubes.  wholesomebabyfood.com says 1-3 months in the freezer is optimal for nutrient retention, but that after that the degradation isn't really that huge.  Especially if you have a deep freeze.

  • I think as long as I don't cook the produce and just freeze it I'll be ok to thaw and make baby food. We will be starting in the next three months and it will be in a deep freezer so maybe when I buy stuff for us I'll set a little aside for him :-)

  • I cooked them, pureed them, and then froze them and that worked well.

  • organic fresh frozen is great to use for things that are out of season. but you can also make the baby food now and freeze it. in a deep frezer it should last three months? Correct me if Im wrong some one. But I believe thats what I read when I did it with DD

    GL!
