How to offer

Serve at room temperature by the spoonful. This naturally sweet blend is great as a first tropical flavor introduction.

Storage

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Not recommended for freezing as banana texture changes upon thawing.

Nutrition note

Bananas are rich in minerals like folate, vitamin B6, vitamin C, and potassium that babies require to flourish in addition to carbohydrates to fuel the body. Together, these nutrients help to maintain blood pressure, skin health, the neurological system, and iron absorption.
