Most parents want to give the best foods to baby but they simply do not have the time — or personal chef.
Well, Beech-Nut has come out with a new-and-improved line of 40 jarred, pureed foods that will make parents and kids alike open wide for the chew-chew train. Our testers are fans of its flavorful “Just Honeycrisp Apples” and the “Beets, Pear & Pomegranate” blend. The purees are gently cooked, leaving color and flavor intact, and the 83-year-old company says they are free of artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives. These jars prompted us to pull out Jessica Seinfeld’s 2007 cookbook, “Deceptively Delicious,” that has recipes for including vegetable purees in unexpected places (pancakes, quesadillas, brownies, etc.). Go ahead — reap the fruits of our tasty research.
Beech-Nut baby food (4.25-ounce jar), $1.09, www.beechnut.com.
