How to offer

Amaranth is packed with iron and calcium; a nutritious pairing with omega-3-rich trout.

Storage

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

Nutrition note

Trout is rich in DHA and EPA, the omega-3 fatty acids critical for brain and eye development. It is also an excellent source of vitamin D, which is vital for calcium absorption and immune health. The high protein content supports your baby's structural growth.
