About Babyfood, meat, beef, strained
Strained beef is cooked beef pureed with water or broth to a smooth, soft paste for babies. Pureed meats are less familiar than fruit and vegetable purées, but they are valued precisely because they deliver protein and well-absorbed iron — two things that become important in a baby's second half-year.
It is lean and protein-dense for a baby food: about 81 calories per 100 grams, with around 12 grams of protein and only a little fat. Beef provides heme iron and zinc in forms the body absorbs efficiently, which is the main reason pureed meats are recommended once a baby is taking solids well.
The smooth meat purée is fairly strong-tasting, so it is often thinned with broth or mixed into vegetable purées and dinner blends rather than served alone. It is one of the more nutrient-dense options on the baby-food shelf. When and how to introduce meats is best decided with a pediatrician; the information here is general and not medical advice.
