Great quality baby food is an absolute essential for any parent with a weaning child. In the early stages of weaning and learning how to eat solids, children need to have their food provided to them in an easy to swallow way – especially given that they’re unable to chew effectively. Therefore, jars or pouches of pureed meals are generally popular amongst mums and dads. The baby food market is estimated to be worth around £700 million.
However, with the cost of living rising and parents becoming more concerned and conscious about what additives and artificial ingredients might be in processed baby food, the need for parents to be able to make their own baby food in the comfort of their home is increasing. By making their own purees, sauces and soups, parents are easily able to control what goes into their child’s food – while also helping cut costs by being able to process the meals the rest of the family are already having! This means they can cut out excess sugars and additives, giving their child the best start in life with healthy, fresh ingredients packed full of nutrients and vitamins! As a leading wholesaler of baby and nursery products, Baby Brands Direct has a fantastic food preparation and weaning range – with plenty of products from the best brands in the industry!
The Philips Avent Baby Food Steamer & Blender 220 is a fantastic option for quick and easy food prep, with its 2-in-1 functionality cutting down on both time and money! This product easily allows parents to steam their fresh vegetables, softening them up without losing nutrients. The Philips Avent Baby Food Steamer & Blender 220 has unique technology which lets the steam circulate upwards from the bottom, ensuring that the ingredients are all evenly cooked without overheating or boiling. The liquids from steaming the ingredients are retained, meaning they can also be included in the pureed meal – ensuring no goodness is lost.
The machine will beep when the food is cooked to perfection, so mums and dads don’t need to stand and watch. They can then easily puree these ingredients to the desired consistency, creating yummy food for their baby in a flash! From smooth to chunky, this machine can do it all! All parents need to do is flip the jar and lock into place to begin blending. With a capacity of 800ml for solids and 450ml for liquids, parents are easily able to batch cook their little one’s meals. The jar can be used to store pureed food in the fridge for later! The blender itself is compact and easy to store, making it a great option for kitchens with limited space, or for taking along while travelling to family or friends.
