Pea Puree – a fantastic accompaniment with vibrant color, mild taste and is so much more than a first food for babies. Many parents serve their babies purees and it can be a delicious way to add fruits, vegetable and cereals to your baby meal.

Peas are a great source of protein, fiber, vitamins K and C. As a first food, this pea puree is simple, easy to make less than 10 minutes.
