Commercial versions like these offer standardized nutrition and fortification, while homemade options allow you to control sugar and ingredient quality.
Can adults eat them?
Yes, though they are formulated for a toddler's nutritional needs and palate. Adults might find them mildly sweet and useful as a light, crunchy snack.
