Superfoods For Babies

ABC7News:

Satisfying taste and nutrition can be a tough job for many new moms. Add to that a desire to keep food choices pure and organic and it can pose an even greater challenge.

One Chicago-area mom is now turning this balancing act into a thriving ‘green’ business.

The St. Francis Church Moms and Tots Group recently got a taste of a new product line, Square One Organics. It’s certified organic pureed fruits and vegetables separated into categories of ‘superfoods.’

“A superfood is a food that is very, very nutritionally rich in probably more than one vitamin or nutrient and has an identifiable health benefit to the person that’s ingesting it,” said Denise Henderson, founder, Square One Organics.

Denise Henderson came up with the idea in her own kitchen. In 2001, she gave birth to premature twins, Grace and Jed. Jed had severe food allergies.

“I knew every time they ate, I had an opportunity to make a positive impact on their growth and development and I researched what foods do that,” said Henderson.

    Great article!
    I also recommend the book “Top 100 Baby Purees”. Its great.
    It has lots of different recipes from easy and smooth purees to more chunky and even foods that are actual solids that you can feed as you little one enters toddlerhood. I have briefly looked through the Williams and Sonoma Baby cookbook that was recently released and it looked very interesting, but like most of the other Williams Sonoma cookbooks, it sometimes require unusual more high scale ingredients that most people don’t have in their kitchens. If you are however a culinary master, it may be worth investing in. The “Top 100 Baby Purees” runs from $10-$15. There are also recipes that you can find online too if you just look up baby recipes.
