How to offer

Sole's delicate texture blends to an ultra-smooth puree ideal for early eaters.

Storage

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Do not freeze fish purees with dairy.

Nutrition note

As a low-mercury fish, sole is a safe way to introduce essential Omega-3 fatty acids which support brain and eye development. It is also packed with Vitamin B12 and selenium, both of which are vital for immune function and energy metabolism. The protein density helps sustain your baby's growth throughout the day.
