⚠️ Watch-outs & how to enjoy it better
The high sugar content (over 9g per 100g) can contribute to blood sugar spikes and is a consideration for dental health. It should be consumed as part of a balanced meal, not as a standalone snack, and followed by water or teeth brushing. Some blends may contain common fruit allergens or added ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) for preservation.

FAQ
Is this the same as giving my baby mashed fresh fruit?
Not exactly. This product is commercially processed for shelf stability and safety, with a very smooth, consistent texture. Fresh fruit offers more texture variation and may have slightly different nutrient profiles depending on ripeness.
Why is the sugar content so high if it's just fruit?
The sugar is primarily from the natural fruit sugars (fructose) concentrated in the purée. Processing and blending can make these sugars more readily available, hence the high gram count per serving.
Can I use this in baking?
Yes, it can be used to add moisture, sweetness, and fruit flavor to muffins, pancakes, or quick breads, often allowing you to reduce added sugar and fat in the recipe.
