Guide Note

By using homemade baby food recipes, parents have the ability to control the sugar, spices and additives their baby consumes. By using fruits and vegetables from local farmers and storing the food in reusable containers, homemade baby food is also environmentally-friendly.

Since homemade baby food is primarily made from fresh, raw ingredients, it must be used immediately, refrigerated for one or two days or frozen to prevent the spread of bacteria.¹
